The Hunt Museum is on a journey to increase disability access and inclusion for all visitors and the Inclusive Museum project plays an integral role in achieving the required changes.
Through this project we have been closely collaborating with autistic people and persons with visual impairment to understand the barriers that they face when visiting the Museum and to co-design accommodations and solutions to these. Much of the information on this webpage has been developed with their guidance and support.
Learn about the Inclusive Museum project via its website.
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.
