Don't touch the art? Louvre exhibit lets visitors break the rules

The Louvre's Tactile Gallery, targeted to the blind and visually impaired, is the only space in the Paris museum where visitors can touch the sculptures, with no guards or alarms to stop them. Its latest exhibit is a crowd-pleaser: a menagerie of sculpted lions, snakes, horses and eagles. picked by bevissimo 8 months ago

this is cool. But the article said that children loved the exhibit. I would NOT allow a child inside of the luvre

I think I would be able to take my daughters inside, but my son would be a terror. Like I am going to Paris anytime soon! That being said, the exhibit sounds really cool. It would be fun to go through it blind folded.

It's safe to bring kids, just don't forget your whipping-stick.
