When we updated our main exhibit hall a few years back, we made sure the space was more than just visually engaging. We also added hands-on, tactile science stations that invite visitors to explore in their own way.

Day 5 of #MuseumWeek2025. The purpose of almost everything I do at the museum is to ensure that the nat history collections are accessible - the collections in store should be as available as those you see on display. Here are some palaeontology objects, not currently on display. #AccessibilityMW
Today is #AccessibilityMW for Museums Week 2025 and here are some of the ways we implement to ensure your visit is as accessible as possible.
We would like to highlight our guides to assist your visit, meticulously written up by our volunteer Iain Miller. Thank you!

A museum display with photos of "stylish with a stoma" influencer Lucy Jane in fashionable clothing. She is quoted as saying: "If you really were caring about representation... and you really wanted to invest in someone and what they stand for, like, you can afford to pay them."
![A photo of a pink dress on display in a museum. It was made by accessible fashion designer Victoria Jenkins for Lucy Jane to wear at London Fashion Week. A label alongside the dress quotes Lucy as saying: "She [Victoria Jenkins, founder of Unhidden] made me this stunning dress... it had this zip in it that meant that I wouldn't have had to lift it all up to go to the toilet to empty my stoma bag. For someone who might have a stoma and also have some kind of other disability, it would be much easier to just empty it through this little zip."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ldvs43uvd7crgzoo7va62bqz/bafkreifayn3a3ezn6nk2dj4lp2nvpp66onjwfp3xycoavnnfibdgzu563e)

Steel framed sledge, painted blue. Sledge has a rounded seat with 10 cm high back support, a red rigid fiberglass seat pad bolted to seat and two-piece black lap belt attached to underside of seat. A pair of steel skate blades is welded to underside of seat and support tubes, curved piece of tubing welded at distal end of sledge to provide third point of contact with ice surface.
In 2007, a formal sledge hockey program was started in Manitoba by Bill Muloin of Manitoba Possible. This sledge, along with other objects including an adaptive tricycle, was donated to the Museum in 2017 to help us share the stories of Manitobans with disabilities. #AccessibilityMW

At #Trimontium we believe everyone deserves to feel welcome.
From wheelchair access to large-print guides, wagging tails to supported volunteering—we’re creating a space where more people feel at home.
Accessibility is a journey, and we're always learning. 💛
Kiera smiles while sitting on her walker as she planes a piece of wood with the boatbuilder at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, with the text Nova Scotia Museum Accessibility Plan.
Today’s #MuseumWeek theme is #AccessibilityMW. The Nova Scotia Museum developed an overarching accessibility plan that will guide us to become more accessible. Each of our 28 sites will use this plan to develop their own plans based on accessibility needs.

A photograph of two abseilers inspecting a clock on a tower high above Westminster Abbey
For #AccessibilityMW we share these gravity-defying pictures of the annual condition check of the Abbey's iconic West Towers. They stand some 68 meters (225 feet) above London, meaning that an abseiling kit - and a head for heights! - is needed to make sure they remain in good condition.

Des paravents ont été mis en place et réduisent le champ de visibilité dans la Salle des États du tableau de La Joconde. Sur la photographie, La Joconde se devine à peine, en effet le cadrage place sur une grande partie de son visage un poteau entre deux paravents. #MuseumWeek #AccessibilityMW #AccessibilitéMW #AccesibilidadMW #AccessibilitàMW #ZugangFürAlleMW #AcessibilidadeMW
