Disabled Access
Inside the Museum, most of the displays, the computer for visitor use, and the Museum archives are on the ground floor. The permanent gallery exhibition is on a mezzanine floor which is reached by a flight of stairs.
Because of the age and position of the Museum building, people who are using wheelchairs or who have difficulty climbing steps will need assistance to get to the entrance. Between the road and the Museum there are four steps and a new paved path suitable for people walking two abreast - a handrail is situated to the right. The Museum doorway is 74 cm wide at its narrowest point. We are keen to help all our visitors enjoy the Museum. If you think you will need assistance during your visit please let us know in advance so that we can make someone available to help. |
