Additional Information & Description
Dialogue in the Dark at Dialoghaus Hamburg puts sight aside entirely. A blind host leads you through a pitch-black exhibition, turning the visit into a sensory encounter in which sounds, textures and smells become your points of reference.
Navigate without visual cues
You move through the exhibition in a small group of no more than eight people, relying on your ears, nose and hands rather than looking ahead. The focus is on noticing what your other senses can tell you when vision no longer supplies the familiar clues. Dialoghaus explores the challenges faced by blind, deaf and non-verbal people through everyday situations, including walking in a park, crossing a busy street and boarding a boat. These ordinary activities give its sensory exhibitions a concrete connection to daily life.
Talk with your host at the Dark Bar
The Dark Bar comes at the end of the darkened experience. Here, you can have a soft drink and talk with your guide about what you have just encountered. It is also a chance to ask questions directly, moving from navigating the exhibition to discussing the experience with the person who led you through it. That conversation gives the final part of the tour a different focus from the sensory exploration itself.
Admission, guided tour and Dialogue Lab
Your ticket includes admission to Dialoghaus Hamburg, the Dialogue in the Dark guided tour and 30 minutes for Dialogue Lab. The guide speaks English or German according to the ticket option you select, so the language choice applies to the guided experience. Dialogue Lab adds a separate element to the visit alongside the tour through darkness.
