A place for everyone: the accessible museum

Whether you are a fan of the museum or not, you consider that its accessibility to all is a real priority.

For you, this means above all:

— A warm welcome (multilingual, personalised, no queuing, etc.)

— Accessible rates adapted to different categories of visitors

— Extended opening hours (regular late-night openings, etc.)

— Improved visibility of the museum, among other things, through:

● Greater communication (social networks, advertising, partnerships, etc.) and a better targeting of the different audiences

● Better signage in the city

● Clarification of the name by adding a baseline

— Itineraries adapted to people with special needs (disabilities, hypersensitivity, etc.), but also inclusive approaches to collections and exhibitions, taking multiple sensitivities into account.

Many of you appreciate discovering art through stimulation of several senses. This multi-sensory approach also seems to be an opportunity to bring different audiences together.

Similarly, ensuring the readability of written material (sufficiently large font, widely accessible language) is a good example of a point of attention that can benefit everyone.

To choose sometimes means to forsake, but that does not prevent us from improving!

Among all your suggestions, choices will necessarily have to be made according to their relevance, the museum's missions, their feasibility and also the means available (human and financial).

One example is the recurrent request for more parking space, even though the current ecological challenges call for soft mobility in the city.

However, you can count on us to pay particular attention to our communication on accessibility for people with reduced mobility and on the existing parking areas around the museum.
