This dissertation presents a study on audio description at the Pinacoteca de Sergipe, located in the Memorial de Sergipe Professor Jouberto Uchôa, in Aracaju, with the aim of promoting accessibility for visually impaired people and enhancing the cultural experience for all visitors. The research problem revolves around the lack of accessibility at the Pinacoteca, which limits the inclusive participation of visually impaired individuals in appreciating the art collection. The methodology used is mixed, integrating both quantitative and qualitative approaches, as the object of study requires a multifaceted analysis. The research is applied in nature, focused on solving practical accessibility issues, with descriptive objectives centered on unsystematic participant observation. The general objective of the research was to implement audio description for the artworks in the Pinacoteca to ensure that visually impaired people have access to the exhibited art, thus enriching the cultural and informational experience for the public. The data presented were gathered through unsystematic observation, considering what was experienced daily in the mediation of the artworks.

The contextualization and description result in a unique audio description that allows a journey into the listener's imagination.
