If you're looking for an enjoyable, accessible museum experience, take a trip to Boston and check out the new "Messages" exhibit at the Museum of Science. The exhibit aims to help visitors understand and appreciate the many ways that humans communicate. Hands-on activities as well as interactive displays and kiosks let you decode secret languages, try out different dialects, and test your own communication skills.

"For the past two years, NCAM has been working with exhibit planners to add closed captions, video descriptions, and audio labels to kiosks, and has advised the team on ways to make the Internet components accessible," says NCAM project manager Tom Wlodkowski. According to exhibit planner Betty Davidson, "'Messages' is a major new addition to the Museum's accessible exhibitry."
