Blind Couple Sues Organizers Of King Tut Exhibit

POSTED: Monday, February 13, 2006

A blind couple is suing the organizers of the King Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibit at the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale.

Tom and Debbie Ryan claim the exhibit fails to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

The Ryans claim they were unable to locate overhead descriptive signs and found the museum's restrooms, parking and aisles to be inaccessible. Other disabled patrons have also supported their claim.

Organizers have not yet responded to the allegations.
