As patron of the 90 decibel Project, Theresa Bubbear said:
This is an opportunity to make a real difference and to give deaf people the access to culture, which so many of us take for granted. This smart phone app is a unique example of how technology can make a difference – both to the people who will use the app and to the Museum itself, which will, I hope, attract a new and wider audience.
