Facilities available in the Cloth Hall: audio description, architectural accessibility for people with mobility difficulties, sensory basket, caf\u00e9, shop, cloakroom, changing table, Wi-Fi, elevator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building has an elevator, which allows wheelchair users easy access to the galleries and terraces of the Cloth Hall. The elevator is equipped with Braille buttons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reception desk, museum shop, and security guard station located on the ground floor at the entrance to the gallery allow for easy wheelchair access. There are no thresholds or restrictions. Since the main cloakroom is accessible only by stairs, there is an additional cloakroom for people with mobility impairments located next to the museum shop, equipped with luggage lockers, among other amenities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information point has a touchscreen information board with sound and a description of the building space in Polish, English and Ukrainian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The accessible restroom, located near the terrace and caf\u00e9, is equipped with retractable grab bars and a special sink and toilet \u2013 recommended for people with disabilities. The mirror is mounted so that both standing and wheelchair users can see their surroundings comfortably. All handles and buttons are also comfortable for people with hand spasticity. The restroom also includes a baby changing table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stairs make access to the toilet difficult \u2013 we solved the problem with mobile, foldable aluminum ramps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
