An Educator will lead a tour which will be remotely transcribed in real time by a CART captioner. The captions will be accessed via visitors’ smart phones. The Museum will provide a few devices to borrow.  Each tour is an hour and a half long, followed by a reception featuring local Lower East Side foods.
