Description of the facility

The museum is easily accessible. The ticket office is located to the left of the entrance and is accessible via stairs. For wheelchair users, access is provided via a ramp through the cloakroom a little further ahead. The exhibition areas are arranged around a multi-story central atrium. Access to them is possible via stairs or by elevator. To the right of the entrance, stairs lead up to the temporary exhibition rooms.
Access to the basement areas, where the remains from the times of Emona are located, is possible via a long winding ramp. In the part of the basement accessible by elevator, there is also a café.
Exhibition spaces are arranged on the upper floors. There is enough maneuvering space. There are also frequent exhibits that allow tactile exploration of the exhibition material and the use of headphones with audio recordings.
Tactile plans of the exhibitions are also arranged next to the exhibition areas.
On the upper floor, next to the staircase, there are also adapted sanitary facilities.
