Other models and objects can be touched, which, despite not being adapted for people with visual impairments, are useful and understandable.

Other sets and recreations can be enjoyed without the need to request permission, such as schools or a castle tower. On the third floor you can listen to many radio fragments or historical events as well as music or hymns. The elevator buttons are in raised relief and Braille. Guide dogs are allowed throughout the premises.
