Access facilities at the Museum of Norwich

The Museum of Norwich is fully accessible. There is a platform lift from the main entrance (street level) to the ground floor where the reception, ticket desk and shop are located. A hearing loop is installed at the reception.

A second lift within the museum provides access to all levels of the museum. We cannot accommodate large motorised scooters; however we do have a wheelchair on site, for visitors to transfer to. Regrettably the undercroft is not accessible to wheelchair users.

There is plenty of seating around the museum and there are a variety of multi-sensory displays, with handling items, listening points and some smell stations. If you would like to make a group booking for visitors with disabilities please contact us directly on 01603 629127 to discuss your needs.  

Carers

If you will be visiting with a carer, they will be admitted to the museum free of charge.  

Assistance dogs

Assistance dogs are very welcome. Ask for a bowl of water at the reception desk.
