Information for Disabled Visitors
Access for disabled people
We regret that we are unable to provide access to the upper galleries, but there is a ramp on the ground floor, where the display has been designed with wheelchair users in mind, and there is a bell outside the museum which may be used to summon assistance from the staff.
Slide presentations of exhibitions and the Tapestry are available for viewing, and our display texts have been printed according to advice from the visually impaired.
