The museum’s exhibition spaces are spread across the basement, ground floor and first floor of the museum building. The building does not have a lift. Wheelchair users can only access the ground floor and the first floor where there is sufficient room to manoeuvre. An inclined lifting platforms is installed for access to the first floor, but its load capacity is only 250 kg and is unsuitably sized. At the door between the exhibition space there are thresholds with ramps with slopes of up to 14%. An inadequate raised glass walkway appears in part of the exhibition space on the first floor. The building does not have accessible sanitary facilities. Part of the museum on the ground floor is only accessible through the side entrance for wheelchair users.
