Making the exhibition accessible
Anne and her team at the museum aim to create a world-class experience for all their visitors and while preparing for the arrival of the impressive sculpture, ensuring this exhibition was accessible was a no-brainer.
"You should try and be accessible to all. You want to give every customer a world class experience. This should be your default position not because you think it will benefit the business. You should be looking at how your visitors can benefit.
Don’t think outside the box… make your box bigger.
You don’t always need external support to make your offer more accessible. Ask your staff for ideas, you'll be surprised how many of your staff can relate to the challenges faced by people with specific access requirements. Even small changes make a difference."
To accommodate an increase in their footfall, the museum has doubled their accessible parking spaces. They also provide ramp access for those who need it to get closer to the sculpture.
One of the other considerations put in place was quiet time.
