York Art Gallery reopened and is now very wheelchair friendly. There is a ramp outside leading into the main entrance, very clear signs to information desks and friendly staff. There are disabled toilets, a gallery, a shop and an accessible cafe on the ground floor. There is a good sized lift taking you upstairs to the other galleries, another shop and a lovely balcony. Very spacious and easy to get around, guides in all galleries to offer help and assistance.

There was a good sized lift, no steps, and plenty of places to stop and rest. There are a couple of pieces which you can touch to feel the shape and texture of the artwork. There are some sofas and benches to sit on inside the galleries.
