A museum in Vienna, Austria is working to make art work accessible to the visually impaired. The Kiss, a work by Gustav Klimt that is known for its vibrant color and the texture depicted, has been created in a 3D relief.
 
Deciding to avoid all use of color, the 3D relief is all white with texture used to allow tactile understanding of the piece of art.
 
This museum joins a growing number of facilities around the world that are making major artworks accessible to the visually impaired with either 3D printing, touch tours or audio descriptions.
