About this Project

Why Museum Accessiblity?

Munich is one of the biggest cities in Germany and residents can benefit from access to public spaces such as museums where they can experience art and educational exhibitions in a community space. However, for disabled people visiting museums can sometimes pose a challenge. This project aims for an improvement in accessibility in museums in Munich by highlighting the two most accessible and two least accessible museums for disabled people. Although there are many different types of disabilities, both visible and invisible, this project focuses on the blind and visually impaired as well as the mobility restricted. The site can also be regarded as a work in progress, with the hope that we will be able to update and expand the information presented here in the near future.
