Description of the facility

The nearest adapted parking space is located 150 meters away, near the church. The route from the bus stop is wide and slightly inclined.
The institution’s program is housed in two multi-story buildings connected by an inner courtyard.
On the ground floor of the main building, there is a bookstore, part of which continues via stairs to an elevated ground floor where a café with a reception counter is located. From the café, a hallway leads to non-adapted restrooms, stairs to the basement exhibition space, a multipurpose hall, and a side entrance from the courtyard. Across the courtyard, there is an event hall with stairs and an elevated entrance, as well as an entrance to the administration offices.
The main entrance to the institution is poorly visible and has stairs at the threshold. The side entrance from the courtyard has no threshold and is equipped with an intercom, but the terrain leading to it is very steep. On the level of the side entrance are the multipurpose hall, café, and part of the bookstore; however, access is hindered by narrow doors (only one leaf of the double doors is in use).
There is enough maneuvering space in the bookstore and café, but the reception counter is not height-adjusted, and the route from the entrance to the counter is not marked. Some bookshelves are at heights accessible to wheelchair users. The bookstore does not offer books in Braille or large print, but it is possible to order large-print books in Hungarian online.
The stairs leading to the basement exhibition space lack proper handrails and pose a risk of falling. The multipurpose hall offers sufficient maneuvering space and movable furniture.
The event hall is not accessible for wheelchair users and is not equipped with a hearing loop.
There are no adapted restrooms in the building.
