Audio Described Tour of Exhibition Hall

Welcome to the audio described tour of the United States Capitol Visitor Center's Exhibition Hall. The tour offers several listening options. The first is to listen to a detailed, 95 minute tour in its entirety. This might be the best option if you are listening at home, for example. The second option allows you to proceed through the Capitol Visitor Center at your own pace, selecting an overview of each exhibit, and then choosing which exhibits you’d like to explore more in depth. These “detailed descriptions” offer additional description of the images, text, and artifacts that make up each exhibit of the Capitol Visitor Center. Finally, while the audio description tour provides orientation and wayfinding information, there are also staff available to guide or assist you during your visit. Visitor Center staff are dressed in red jackets or vests.
