On the Grid : Dialog im Dunkeln

"This exceptional exhibition throws you out of the routine on how most people perceive the world. Here, blind hosts lead small groups through totally dark rooms and let you discover everyday situations and places (created only through smell, sound, temperature and texture) in a totally different light; social roles get reversed and a new view on the world opens up. Apart from the exhibition a dinner in the dark and team building courses are offered." - Boom

I’m very glad this place and the opportunity for an experience like this exists. It was a wonderful to navigate for myself just a small bit of what blind people experience in their daily lives that I often take for granted. Cyrus was a great guide and I really appreciated learning a bit of his story at the end of the tour. His English was very good for someone that’s only been learning for 1 year! I would highly recommend visiting to anyone that comes to Hamburg.

Great experience! Would very much do again! Good group size, wonderful guide. And more of other interactive activities while waiting. Overall super stoked that there's something like this to help others experience and get some perception with disabilities.

Very powerful experience. “Dialogue in the Dark” helps you better understand people who cannot see or hear and truly feel the world in a different way. After coming out of the darkness, you rethink many things. Highly recommended.

Great interactive experience! Only suggestion for the Dialoghaus: on the website is strongly recommended to arrive there 20 minutes before the start of the tour, which we did, but we were picked up by the guide only at the time the tour was supposed to start, so the 20 minutes waiting time was not that necessary...

Amazing experience ! Very unique and everyone should try this. We experience the life of a blind person, and our guide was a blind person, i believe her name was eva, she was amazing. You use your senses and see the daily struggles our world put in the way of blind people. Very eye opening.

I went into this tour with no expectations, as my wife and I joined one of the last Dialogue in Silence tours of the day. It turned out to be an intimate experience, just us and our guide, Tobias. He was charismatic and resourceful, he was able to explain things by just signing to us and when we didn’t understand he would try a different way of signing. I’ve never met someone who could make us laugh so much without speaking a single word. Thank you, Tobias, for such a memorable experience and for sharing your world with us. I would recommend this to anyone with an hour to spare in Hamburg.

Amazing experience! Me and my daughter had an amazing time and enjoyed ourselves so much in Dialog im Stillen. Not only we learned new experiences in sign language but also understanding on how much we can communicate through the use of our body, facial expressions and gestures. Kudos to Our guide (he was amazing). Highly recommend!

really meaningful experience that tries to give an insight into the life of the visually impaired. i did the dialogue in the dark tour which is about an hour. While blinded in total darkness, we had to perform tasks like climbing over steps, navigating through a room, ordering drinks and getting a seat i recommend everyone, adults and kids alike, to try this out.
