Description of the facility

The museum is partially accessible. The accessible path from the parking space for mobility-impaired persons to the main entrance is obstacle-free.
Wheelchair users can enter the museum through the main doors if both door leaves are open. In the lobby, there are stairs and an unsecured ramp that are not contrast-marked.
The museum exhibition spaces are located in the basement, ground floor, and first floor of the building. There is no elevator in the building.
For wheelchair users, only the ground floor and first floor are accessible, where there is sufficient maneuvering space. A sloped lift is installed to access the upper floor, with a maximum load of 250 kg and dimensions below standard requirements.
Ramps with slopes up to 14% are present in exhibition areas at transitions. In part of the exhibition space on the upper floor, there is an inappropriate raised glass walkway.
There are no accessible sanitary facilities in the building.
Part of the ground floor is accessible to wheelchair users only via a side entrance.
Inside the building, stairs, ramps, and level differences are without contrast markings. Exhibits do not allow tactile exploration of exhibition materials.
