This article discusses the artworks adaptation process in museums from the
perspective of inclusive design. For this study, five museums were selected comprising two categories: those that have in their collection artworks adapted for people with visual impairment and those designed to be inclusive museums. In this context, based on the assertion that the representation of the tactile image is an important channel of information for the blind, a survey on the current methods adopted in the production of inclusive works is justified in order to reflect on possible alternatives and processes that contribute to the expansion of this images repertoire. This article also intends to think over possible advances in image representation, migrating from
a predominantly handcraft technique to a digital one that would allow an expansion of the tactile collection in museums, understanding that they have a great responsibility in the process of socio-cultural inclusion of the visitor with visual impairment.
