Description of the facility

The museum house is partially accessible. The building is one of six museum complexes in the area featuring a permanent ethnological exhibition about the living culture of ironworking families. There is no designated accessible parking space near the museum entrance. The entrance has double doors that do not allow independent entry for wheelchair users. The rooms are located on the ground floor but are difficult to navigate due to numerous high and unmarked thresholds. Sanitary facilities are adapted, but at the time of inspection, they were inaccessible because of exhibit placement. The lighting in the exhibition areas is adequate.
