Abstract
More and more museums are using audio description to facilitate access for blind and partially sighted visitors. There are several tools to rephrase the images depicted in art and translate them into speech. This article focuses on deliberate metaphor, a tool the audio describer consciously uses by comparing the unfamiliar visual element with the familiar experience, usually with a «marker» that catches the attention of the receiver, such as like or similar to. It helps to create a mental image through their knowledge of the world.
