Accessibility

The Museum building is spread over two levels accessible by a staircase located in the main foyer at the QEII Entrance and a lift located adjacent to the studio and workshop.

The Museum building is fully wheelchair accessible. Visitors are welcome to free hire of our wheelchairs and/or our portable “pause” stools which can be taken into exhibition spaces. Seating is provided at all public programs and events. Additional seating within an exhibition space can be made available on request.

Accessible parking is available within the vicinity of the Museum building and can be accessed at the Kiewa Street Target Carpark, Volt Lane Carpark, Olive Street (on-street), or Swift Street (on-street). The Museum’s loading bay (Dean Street entry) may be used to drop off visitors, with a ramp to the side-entrance. Please ring the doorbell for assistance.

Visitors of all ages are welcome at the Museum. Prams are welcome in all gallery spaces and baby change facilities (gender non-specific) are available on the ground floor and breastfeeding is welcome in all our spaces.

The Museum Visitor Experience team are on hand to provide support for those with sensory needs and where possible adjust our environments to enable sensory regulation.
