Accessibility at the Museum

Experience the services provided by an increasingly accessible museum.

The MRSN is actively working to make its exhibition halls and outreach activities increasingly accessible to people with disabilities and neurodiversity.

The MRSN is located on the mezzanine floor. It can be accessed both by climbing 14 steps or by lift and platform.

The exhibition halls are on a single floor with easy access for the mobility-impaired public and families with pushchairs. For anyone in need, the museum provides two wheelchairs, obtainable from the museum staff upon presentation of an ID card.

The MRSN has sanitary facilities for people with mobility impairments.

A baby changing table is available in the washroom.

A peaceful, cosy and discreet area, also serving as a Baby Pit Stop, is also available.

Assistance dogs for individuals with impairments do have access, upon presentation of appropriate documentation.

The exhibition halls feature five tactile panels developed in cooperation with the Blind Union of Piedmont.

All panels, captions and videos are in Italian and English.

Guided tours in Italian, English and French are available on request, for a fee, by contacting the MRSN Education Section at didattica.mrsn@regione.piemonte.it or, during the school term, by calling +39 011 4326307 Monday to Friday 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.

The Education Section has produced the MRSN's ‘Social History’, a tool used to help people with autism or developmental disorders learn.
It is of benefit in preparing the visit to the museum and can be customised to suit each individual's needs.
It can be requested by associations, teachers, families and anyone who needs it at didattica.mrsn@regione.piemonte.it.
Contents in Easy to Read language and Alternative Augmentative Communication (AAC) symbols are available for some educational workshops.

Some MRSN’s digitised collections are on display on the Mèmora platform: https://www.memora.piemonte.it/. They can be viewed on any IT device.
