This work had the objective of expanding the knowledge about the blind people perception of works of art, in this specific case, sculptures. It was proposed to investigate the peculiar universe and details of blind people´s perceptive experience by recording the sensorial ways they use. The conceptions and ideas of authors as Kastrup, Almeida and Carijó (2010), Masini (2007), Sacks (1995), Vigotski (1997) constituted the foundation and reference for this work. Three blind people separately touched, manipulated and commented on two figurative sculptures in the museum Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo. The issues concerning the contact of blind people with the sculptures were collected by interview and written report. The interviews were done with each blind person who took part of the research while they explored the sculptures, recording what occurred and was manifested in the situation. Their expressed sensations, perceptions and feelings were recorded and registered. The written report was made and elaborated by the subjects of the investigation one month after their experience in the museum and this report was sent to the researcher. The analysis was made in two stages. Firstly, was made an individual analysis of each person and their contact with the sculptures, considering both the objective issues and their expressed feelings and what each one could have experienced, and what they referred in the interviews. Secondly, the convergences and divergences were organized, according to the objective issues and feelings, considering each person who took part in the research and the experiences which they referred to in the interview. Reflecting of these issues showed convergences and agreements among three persons both in the interview and in written report only in the category called Perception of the Elements of the Sculptures showing a denotative recognition of the parts of the artistic objects. There was common focus by three blind subjects in these categories: Personal Experience , Feelings , Emotions , Personal Expression of the Sculpture Meaning , Esthetic Evaluation of Sculptures Elements but the sculptures did not evoke the same experiences in each subject because of their individualities and singularities.
