Description of the facility

The museum is poorly accessible. Access to the ground floor can be achieved using a temporary ramp on the narrow sidewalk in front of the entrance. The sidewalk in front of the entrance lacks a recess.
The ground floor houses the reception desk and part of the exhibition spaces. The upper floor is only accessible via stairs inside. For mobility-impaired visitors, access is provided via a separate rear entrance. A temporary ramp is installed at the side entrance, but due to the lack of edge protection, it can be unsafe.
The upper floor contains the remainder of the collection and non-adapted sanitary facilities. The interior of the building is relatively poorly lit.
