The Hunt Museum is on a journey to increase disability access and inclusion. To progress this objective, we are working with autistic people and persons with visual impairment to put new accommodations in place. As these are delivered, new information will be added below.
A project to bring the digital accessibility of this website up to standard is also underway. We ask for your patience while we undertake this work.
