Enhancing Inclusion in Museums: Strategies for Improving Accessibility
Learn about strategies for enhancing inclusion and accessibility at museums, including ways to make exhibitions, programs, and facilities more inclusive for people with disabilities, and diverse communities.
Museums should have subtitled films in different languages and provide audio tours with headsets for the hard of hearing. They should also have tactile displays that can be explored by those with sight loss or visual impairments.
In addition to this, museum staff should be trained in disability awareness so they can better accommodate people’s individual needs. They should also provide clear information about access arrangements on their websites and printed materials so that potential visitors know what they can expect before they arrive.
