Chennai’s Museum of Possibilities - Ensuring BLISSful life for persons with disabilities

There’s a lot to engage with and learn at the Museum of Possibilities at Kamarajar Salai by the Marina beach. Ahead of an event the space is playing host to, the interest of the visitors there is piqued by the various facets of a model accessible home — ranging from its adaptive cutlery, furniture, and even board games kept on display.

An initiative by the Department for the Welfare of the Differently Abled, the space is a demonstration centre for assistive devices and technology for persons with disabilities. The museum has been conceptualised to act as a bridge between the community of users and the innovators of such technology and devices. 

“It is also a community hub for everyone interested in creating awareness about disability, Accessibility, Assistive Technology, and an Inclusive world,” says Hethal, the acting manager of the museum.
