In addition, this book includes findings from participant observations in classes and touch tours for blind and visually impaired people at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter reading this book, readers will understand both passive and active social exclusion from the museum's facilities (active exclusion is defined as a deliberate act of exclusion based on the belief that blind people are incapable of understanding visual art, whereas passive exclusion is defined as exclusion resulting from an aspect of miseducation, such as inappropriate building design or learning materials, or a lack of training, knowledge, resources, access materials or buildings).\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimon Hayhoe is lecturer in education at University of Bath and research associate in the Centre for the Philosophy of Natural \u0026amp; Social Science, London School of Economics, United Kingdom.
