The Uffizi was quite different from the other museums when I saw it: a long cavalcade of statues and busts in the galleries, no attempt to keep people away even by a few inches from the exhibits: the only painting I remember with any distinctness is Michelangelo's Holy Family (and vague glimmerings of Botticelli). But that was in 1993, 31 years ago.
The most vivid memory I have from Florence is the Medici Chapel, with Michelangelo's tomb sculptures.

I was recently in the Van Abbe museum in Eindhoven and in De Pont / Tilburg.

Interesting: "With over 25 multi-sensory tools, including texts in Braille, scent interpretations, tactile drawings and soundscapes, Delinking and Relinking represents the first, fully multi-sensory collection display in the Netherlands. Besides enriching the museum experience for everyone, the exhibition is accessible to a wide audience, including visually or hearing-impaired visitors and wheelchair users."

Laure Prouvost :" " Prouvost confronts the visitor with the consequences of global warming and the migration of people and birds – while at the same time, inviting us to float freely above the clouds and shatter the boundaries that limit us.  "

I enjoyed being immersed in Prouvost world. Even if it isn't a pleasant one. Quircky humor softens the hard edges. It will not change or save the world however...
