Description of the facility

The museum is located in an older building at the main square in Slovenj Gradec and is less accessible. The reception area is on the ground floor, while the exhibition spaces are located on the upper floor, which is reachable by elevator. Because there are stairs between the exhibition spaces, an additional ramp is provided for wheelchair users at the exit from the first-floor exhibition spaces, but it is steep and uneven. The museum does not have adapted sanitary facilities.
