Museo Civico Medievale

Motor disability or difficulty of movement

The rooms in the museum aren’t very large, but moving inside them is easy. Please note that in order to reach room 3 you need to climb a 14 cm high step without a handrail or any other aids. In some rooms the display cases where artworks are exhibited are slightly too high, but they’re all well lit. Museum labels are sometimes too high for visitors in wheelchairs and written in letters and fonts that are too small. The light is good and uniformly distributed.
Since this museum has a complex structure, you are advised to carefully read the detailed descriptive file.

Hearing disability

The museum may be difficult to visit because the rooms are located on three different floors. The rooms are clearly marked and descriptive sheets and the brochure available at the entrance help visitors to easily find rooms and artworks. Some panels and explanatory sheets are clear, even if the texts require good linguistic comprehension ability. Toilets can be reached using the lift and are clearly marked. The signs in the lift use icons readable by the disabled. Neither the toilets nor the lift are equipped with emergency visual notification devices.

Visual disability

Most of the artworks are exhibited in display cases. Nevertheless some of them can be touched after having informed the staff of the museum. There are no aids in braille or in large print and labels are difficult to read for partially sighted visitors.
