Louis On Tour

Louis is hitting the road! National Braille Press's 20-panel traveling display, in print and braille, takes viewers through the highlights of Louis's life, the braille production process, and why braille remains important today.

Starting in December 2008, The Louis Braille Bicentennial Traveling Exhibit visited cities across the country (see the tour schedule below).
