Introducing The Phoebe Project
Paul was inspired by Phoebe, his dear friend’s daughter who was born blind, to help visually impaired individuals understand the natural world.
This brand-new initiative aims to enhance the experience of Museums, Zoos, Science Centers, and more to assist visually impaired guests in understanding the size and scale of animals they might otherwise find difficult to grasp.
Paul’s hope is to change what accessibility truly means. Dragons, our newest exhibition open at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, features various sculptures that people can touch, interact with, climb, and more.
We’re thrilled to introduce this project to the world and we can’t wait to work with you and your team on creating more accessible features in your space.
“Little Ray’s Exhibitions was a complete pleasure to work with. From initial meeting, content creation and design, through to installation, every step was clear, efficient and fun!”
