"Several disabled museum patrons have sued the organizers of the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit for allegedly failing to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. All Disabled Americans Inc. and five of its members allege in a complaint filed last week in U.S. District Court that the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale provides "inadequate access to people with mobility and visual disabilities" at the Tut exhibit.
Some of the members of the Indiana-based group use wheelchairs or power motor scooters, while others are blind. During a visit to the exhibit, they were unable to read overhead descriptive signs and found the museum's restrooms, parking and access aisles to be inaccessible, according to the complaint."

"While making a museum exhibit accessible to the blind may not be as simple as installing a wheelchair ramp, experts in disability law say the same principles apply. Scott LaBarre, president of the National Association of Blind Lawyers, said museums can accommodate visually impaired visitors and comply with the ADA by providing guided tours, descriptive audio tours, or replicas of some artifacts that blind patrons can touch. New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art offers a number of 'touch tours' including one featuring six ancient Egyptian sculptures."
