For visitors with mobility disabilities
Located in the Old Town, the museum building has several sets of stairs and is thus not very accessible to people with mobility disabilities. The exhibition halls located on the first floor (ground floor) containing temporary exhibitions can be accessed with minimal effort. However, the three steps leading to the entrance of the museum and the two steps inside the museum may create difficulties.
The permanent exhibition on the second floor and the art classroom and toilets located on the lower level can only be accessed by stairs.
Unfortunately, the museum is not yet accessible by wheelchair.
For visitors with intellectual disabilities
For groups of visitors with intellectual disabilities, we will adapt our museum classes accordingly and turn the museum visit into an engrossing experience. From the list of museum classes, pick a programme that you are interested in and then contact us by e-mail at .
For visitors with hearing disabilities
The museum currently has no induction loops or sign language translations.
All of the wall texts are in Estonian and English.
Groups of visitors with hearing disabilities are welcome at museum classes with their own sign language interpreters. We will adjust the speed of our speech and activities according to your needs.
For visitors with visual disabilities
Visitors with visual disabilities can experience the works displayed at the permanent exhibit through audio descriptions, tactile outlines for works of art and figures that have been made tactile. Navigation through the building and finding your way to exhibit halls is assisted by audio descriptions and tactile floor plans. All of the aforementioned materials are available for free at the museum’s reception. The audio descriptions for five of the exhibits can be listened to on the website.
Guide dogs are welcome at the museum.
