Description of the facility

The museum is partially accessible. The reception desk is located to the left of the entrance.
In the lower floor, accessible via a temporary ramp on the left side of the foyer, there are spaces for temporary exhibitions.
Access to the central staircase and elevator is only possible via stairs, so a temporary ramp is also in use here. At the time of the survey, plans for the construction of a permanent ramp were underway.
The elevator is located next to the main staircase, but within the private area of the museum, so staff must enable its use.
Accessible sanitary facilities are also located nearby.
The exhibition spaces on the first floor are arranged in a circular path and are spacious and level. The exception is a smaller part of the exhibition, which is accessible only via stairs.
Some exhibition materials in the museum are adapted for tactile exploration.
In both temporary and permanent exhibitions, some display cases protrude into the space and present a hazard.
