The museum is in a former Synagogue. It has an interesting exhibition of Jewish culture. There are a few stairs, but with my crutch I found it do-able.
Disabled Access In and Around

There are some outdoor steps without handrail which you have to use to get to the museum. There is a step at the entrance door, without handrail. Inside there is the ticket desk and then about 5 - 6 steps down into the main part of the museum. Although these steps have a handrail they were steep, at a bit of an angle is you used the handrail and I found it a little difficult to use, but not a deal breaker. Most of the museum is in the large, main room, however there are a couple of small anti-chambers which are accessible by steps with a handrail only, these are not as bad as the steps going into the main museum. There is a couple of seats. The museum has both exhibit cases and information boards.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
The road parallel to the restaurant is a main road which has trams running along. I didn't use the tram while I was there so unable to comment, apart from I noticed that the new trams had wheelchair signs by one of the doors.
Accessible Toilets
0Not sure if they had any toilets.
Staff

Only saw a member of staff at the ticket counter. No real interaction, but no problems.
Additional Information
The museum which is a former Synagogue is very beautiful and the museum is well laid out with a very interesting exhibition. Well worth visiting.
