American Art Collector February 2023

The Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg (MFA) in St. Petersburg, Florida, has partnered with EnChroma to create a more accessible art viewing experience for the nearly 350 million people worldwide who experience color blindness. EnChroma creates glasses for people with color blindness, which has been available to all MFA visitors since March 2021, allowing people to see a fuller range of the color spectrum, especially meaningful when viewing works of art. This past fall, MFA highlighted this technology during a community event promoting Color Blindness Awareness Month. EnChroma glasses at the museum are available in adult and children’s sizes, as well as in fit-over glasses for those who also wear prescription lenses.…
