 1 At the Invisible Exhibition, you can learn about the practical aspects of being blind. Try out 
useful devices that make life easier for visually-impaired people, such as talking clocks, 
Braille typewriters, and computer screen reading software. Have a go at crossing the road 
using a walking stick with a sensor. Experience what it is like to do your shopping without 
seeing what you are buying, or build first impressions of a person based on their voice and 
tone, not on their appearance.
But there is more to life than practicality! The Exhibition also allows you to explore art: 
touch sculptures, hear descriptions of paintings and photographs, and listen to music in 
complete darkness. Experience what it feels like to have dinner in the dark. Spend an evening 
at the Invisible Restaurant: eat in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by the tastes and smells 
of a delicious meal, and the sounds of good conversation and quiet music. Bring someone on 
a real blind date – and show them a world they have never ‘seen’ before.

 5 from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the 
cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, 
which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did 
inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation and circulation needed for an efficient 
icebox.
But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right 
track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village 
of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport 
his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the rubs 
of his competitors to pay a premium price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound 
bricks. One advantage of his icebox, Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have 
to travel to market at night in order to keep their produce cool.
