Description of the facility

Description of the Facility

The museum is poorly accessible. There is a high threshold at the entrance on the ground floor where the ticket office is located. Accessibility to the exhibition spaces on the ground floor is hindered by high thresholds. The ground floor also houses non-adapted toilets. Exhibition spaces in the basement and on the first floor are only accessible via stairs. There are often high thresholds between rooms, some of which are marked with contrast markings. In addition to contrast markings, the museum provides exhibits for the blind and visually impaired that enable tactile exploration of the exhibition materials, and tactile guides equipped with Braille.
