Accessibility

Museum on the Mound is committed to providing a welcoming, engaging and accessible experience for all visitors. Our team will do all they can to ensure that your visit is comfortable and enjoyable. The museum is fully accessibly to wheelchair users. There is a slight lip at the external gate (approx 2cm) then a ramp down to the main door. This will be opened by a museum guard. The displays themselves are all on one level, and our cases have been designed to let an average wheelchair fit underneath so that the visitor can get as close to the objects as possible. The accessible toilet is through a two-way swing door, with the toilet door itself opening outward. We have induction loops in our reception and temporary exhibition space. Large print guides are available. We have a visual story and sensory map available on our website to help prepare you for a visit to the Museum. We also have ear defenders and sensory bags available, as well as a quiet space. Staff are always on hand to help.
