ONCE runs a lottery and some scratchcard games which bring in 2.5 billion euros ($2.7 billion) a year and pays the salaries of its 72,000 employees; six out of 10 of them have some sort of disability.
The funds are also used for other investments, such as the museum, which in 2023 welcomed 16,000 visitors.
Besides the models, the museum also features artworks by people who are visually impaired and a display of tools and equipment used from the early 19th century until the 1980s to help visually impaired people access culture, including books in Braille.
