“…All chain components interact continuously in a complex way, so some of them have greater relevance within the cyclic process. For all types of citizens interviewed, the fundamental component was the personal sphere; in this our research differs from other studies that emphasise only physical and social barriers (Swaine et al, 2014;Argyropoulos, Kanari, 2015). If the problems within this area cannot be overcome, trips cannot be made, even if infrastructure is adequate, and therefore neither can social interaction.…”

“…Over the past decades, the awareness of accessible museums for disabled individuals has been increased. This increasing awareness has also changed the roles that museums need to have in the 21st century (Argyropoulos & Kanari, 2015). It is crucial to carry out a deep investigation of user requirements, to design a system to accommodate the needs of the disabled market (Michopoulou & Buhalis, 2013).…”

“…They analyzed 28 museums in London, Paris, Madrid, and Lisbon and demonstrated that European museums are more likely to implement strategies for mobility and available information. Further research on the experience of individuals with visual disabilities was carried out by Argyropoulos and Kanari (2015). They stated that the requests of visually disabled individuals are in contrast with one of the most critical duties of museums, which is the displaying of artwork and while protecting it at the same time.…”

Freedom to travel is a fundamental human right. Thus, disabled people should be able to travel. Disabilities are divided into subcategories, whereby vision disability is one of them. In the context of museums, there are some implementations for visually disabled people. However, there is still limited empirical investigation on the expectations, satisfaction, and challenges of visually impaired travelers. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the expectations, needs, and challenges of visually impaired people visiting museums. In this vein, the study draws on a qualitative research approach employing data from visually impaired individuals to understand those individuals' perceptions, needs, and challenges. The study offers several practical implications to help museum managers enhance the experience of visually impaired visitors.

“…Some of them come to the museum not for the collections, but to socialise with people. Hence, with this condition, designers and stakeholders might need to reconsider their space accommodation to fulfil its role as a community space (Argyropoulos & Kanari, 2015;Ahmad et al, 2013). This has to be included at integral stage rather than afterthought solution.…”

It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the impact of global warming and armed conflicts towards a catastrophic human heritage. These situations require the museum to review its role as an institution in collecting, preserving and communicating our cultural inheritance to the society. Meantime, the growth population of people with visual disability around the world will enquire issues such human inequality in accessing built environment and intellectual accessibility in viewing the national treasures. This paper seeks to address the following issues; 1) to identify the role of museum in today's society especially in Malaysia in rebuilding place for the inclusivity of the public; and 2) to explore the potential of sensory design in museology. Method applied was only based on observation and literature review. The paper aims to initiate the key concept that links between 'sensory design' and 'museology' in the context of sustainable development of cultural and heritage hence, rebuilding place. The findings are intended to be used as a framework in developing a tool that provide an equalization of opportunities for persons with disabilities to appreciate arts, culture and heritage in the built environment.
