Among the many treasures in the tactile museum at the Perkins School for the Blind this week, another field trip with students: architectural and technical models, animal heads and vertebrae, silk flags, maps. What a piece of history that institution is.

A room in the tactile museum displays a large NASA rocket ship, a taxidermied elk head, a stuffed giraffe, a snakeskin, flags, and other touchable objects.
