Accessibility
The museum consists of three separate buildings with a bit of distance between each one. Only the Café is wheelchair accessible, other buildings can be reached through stairs. (the Gallery building stairs do not have a rail). The buildings are in a forest area, so the terrain varies; sturdy shoes are recommended.
An accessible restroom is situated in the Café building. There is also a baby care table.
Personal aides have free entry to the museum. Guide dogs are also welcome.
Ask for customer seating in the exhibition premises from the Café/ticket sales.
The Café also provides torches during winter since the museum outside area has reduced lighting conditions.
