Disability

A museum accessible to all

 

We welcome all the members of the public whatever the physical abilities, and the museum is engaged in the ‘Tourism and Disability’ certification process. In addition we have implemented several features to facilitate access to space and content.

 

 

Disability Access

 

The museum is on one level, so it is perfectly accessible by wheelchair from the car park to the exhibition spaces. It also has a bathroom suitable for the disabled.

Folding stools are available free at the reception. To ensure the comfort of visitors, we recommended that groups of people with wheelchairs are composed of up to 5 to 6 people.

 

 

For people with mental disabilities

 

An illustrated guide is available at reception. This guide allows you to discover the museum exhibits and Prehistory.
