Visitors from the D/deaf community are invited to experience Hiroshige’s 100 Famous Views of Edo (feat. Takashi Murakami) in an American Sign Language (ASL) tour led by a Deaf teaching artist. After a brief meet-and-greet, immerse yourself in mid-nineteenth-century Edo (today’s Tokyo). Experience the vibrant city’s beauty and hotspots through the eyes of ordinary people in Hiroshige’s prints.

Free; registration is required.

This tour is designed for the d/Deaf community in ASL only, without voice interpretation. Email access@brooklynmuseum.org for information about tours for ASL students at level 3 or above.
