Accessibility
Positive visitor experiences are key for any museum’s success. Paramount to positive visitor experiences is the accessibility of the museum and how visitor needs are meant. For this reason, increasing accessibility should be a priority for all heritage institutions. MANL has a variety of resources that museums can take advantage of to aid in this. If you have any questions or would like assistance in increasing accessibility, please do not hesitate to contact us.
