            This weekend, special attention will be given to visitors with visual impairments. That\u2019s because various crafts and objects are not just meant to be looked at, but also to be touched and explored up close. This way, you can learn about the materials, techniques, and objects that were part of medieval life. <\/p>\n

            Among other things, you can touch and explore the rope-making workshop, wool felting, ceramics, the armorer\u2019s workshop, tapestries, the plague doctor\u2019s workshop, bookbinding, leatherworking, chain mail, knight\u2019s armor, the chain library, and sailcloth. This way, history comes to life not only through what you see, but also through what you can touch and experience. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
