Touching is believing

Minh Farrow was fascinated by the Italian sculptures in the MFA's European collections, so the 18-year-old created "Flying Angel Bas Relief." Jason Campbell liked the masks in the Oceania and African exhibits, so he made a ceramic "Red African War Mask" (above). These and the other young artists exhibiting at "Seeing What I Feel" are students at the Perkins School for the Blind and spent the last year visiting the MFA and working with guides. The 15 students used audio sticks to listen to recorded descriptions of collections and were allowed to touch pieces while wearing cotton gloves. Their sculptures, paintings, and artifacts are up through Nov. 26 and on view today from 10 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. Admission: $17, $15 for students 18 and older and seniors, free after 4 p.m. every Wednesday.
