Tržič Museum

The museum is poorly accessible. The parking space is not marked, and only a small parking area is available for visitors. A small ramp leads to the ticket office in the reception area. From the reception area, there is access to restrooms, which are not adapted. On the ground floor, there is a skiing exhibition, the initial part of which is accessible for wheelchair users, while the second part requires descending stairs. The upper floors, accessible only via stairs, house other collections and exhibitions, as well as workshop rooms. There is generally enough maneuvering space in the rooms, but high thresholds are common between rooms. At the time of the survey, the museum was also arranging an open attic for exhibitions and considering the optimal placement of an elevator.
