Accessibility of the exhibits is being designed into all aspects of the exhibition. A Braille model allows visitors with limited vision to touch the outline of the Bridge to obtain a sense of its design and proportions. Light House for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco is advising the project on visual accessibility issues.
