The Museum of Modern Art

Object description

The gallery is easily accessible. The main entrance is only accessible via stairs, so a side entrance with a ramp at the back of the building provides access to wheelchair users. The exhibition areas cover most of the interior spaces that are adequately lit and spacious. There is relatively little signage and text; the height of most of the exhibited items is suitable. The basement level is accessible via stairs near the reception desk or with a lift. The accessible sanitary facilities and a café are located there. The building is adequately lit except for the sanitary facilities.
