Ten Steps to a More Accessible Museum

Training with Heather Pressman Tuesday, June 10, 2025 3 - 5pm Yiddish Book Center Are you looking for ways to make your museum more welcoming and inclusive for visitors with disabilities? Nearly a quarter of the population has a disability, yet many museums struggle to create welcoming spaces and experiences for this significant audience. Museum accessibility goes beyond compliance--it's about more than just doorways and ramps--it is about fostering a welcoming environment and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to engage with museum spaces. Come learn simple, actionable steps that museums can take, regardless of size or budget in this interactive session. The Yiddish Book Center is wheelchair accessible and there are three parking spaces reserved for visitors with disabilities.
