Description
The new Graz Museum Schlossberg is located at one of the most central points in the city of Graz and, together with the Graz Museum on Sackstrasse, forms an overall experience that reflects the Schlossberg in its historical and scientific dimensions. It is the first point of contact and information center that structures the Schlossberg and gives visitors orientation. Aimed at a strolling public, the Graz Museum Schlossberg takes an open, inviting and inclusive attitude, which is also expressed in the architectural design.
Barrier-free accessibility
Entrance: The museum's entrance area is completely barrier-free. In front of the entrance there is a tactile model of the area that provides orientation for blind and visually impaired people.
Inside the building: All areas of the museum are completely barrier-free. It offers disabled-accessible toilets as well as lockers accessible to everyone and flexible seating in the courtyard. In addition, a lift has been built that leads from the permanent exhibition to the underground casemate, where a ramp makes the entire room accessible to people in wheelchairs or with a walker. A ramp to the viewing platform allows all visitors to enjoy the view of the city.
In exhibitions: When designing the exhibition, special attention was also paid to ensuring accessibility to all objects on all levels.
