Disabled Access
Due to the nature of the building, the only access to the Museum is via a narrow, 32-step spiral staircase. Therefore, there is no wheelchair access or access for those with limited mobility. We do, however, provide braille guides to the museum, and can organise handling activities for blind people. We also have a hearing loop in the theatre. For more information please telephone the number shown above.
