Description of the facility

The museum is partially adapted and represents one of several locations of the Krško City Museum.
This section of the museum is located in a historic manor with a central courtyard, where a glass annex with a staircase and an elevator was added during renovation to enable access between floors.
The main entrance and reception area are accessible via stairs, while an adapted side entrance for wheelchair users is located on the river side, though it is not marked. In the courtyard and inside the building, stairs lack contrasting markings, and contrast signage is insufficient, posing a potential hazard in certain areas.
The museum has been renovated, and most height differences are bridged with the elevator; however, not all areas are accessible for wheelchair users. Selected exhibits allow tactile exploration. There are adapted restroom facilities for wheelchair users.
