Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales is a Welsh Government-sponsored body that comprises seven museums in Wales focusing on art and science exhibitions as well as interactive experiences and talks.
Combined, the seven national museums in the Amgueddfa Cymru family attract visitors more than 1.9 million people any given year.
Direct Access worked with Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales to undertake accessibility audits of all seven museums plus the National Collections Centre.
Each site was visited over the course of 2023 to review accessibility following Part M of Building Regulations (Welsh Government) and British Standards BS 8300:2018.
Direct Access provided a trilingual approach to audit reports with Welsh, English, and Sign Language versions.
National Museum Wales expressed thorough commitment to improving access for disabled people throughout their museums to provide inclusive visitor experiences for everyone.
Forming the collective, Direct Access audited these seven Welsh museums for accessibility:
As part of our work with NMW, Direct Access also delivered improved access for Neurodivergent disabled people. Amgueddfa Cymru is leading the way with increased awareness of neurodivergent access issues and was keen to engage with us to provide improved visitor information and accessibility consistently at all their museums.
Direct Access relished the opportunity to work with Amgueddfa Cymru on this project and has been encouraged and impressed by the knowledge, experience, and appetite for accessibility and inclusive design amongst museum management teams.
