Accessibility

The entire Photo Elysée building and the mudac are accessible to people with reduced mobility. Suitable toilets are available on each level of the building.

The entrance to the museum is about 500 metres from Lausanne railway station; the access pavement is steeply inclined.

Folding seats are available for people subject to fatigue. Two wheelchairs are available upon request at the building’s reception.

All public guided tours are accessible to the hearing impaired thanks to the Comfort-Audio-Phonak magnetic loop system.

The magnetic loop works with all hearing aids with a T position.

Portable receivers are available on site for hearing impaired people who are not equipped or have a non-T-position device.

The magnetic loop system amplifies the voice of the guides. People equipped with the necessary device can follow the tour comfortably even if they are several metres away from the guide. The device is discreet and very easy to use.

To participate in the public guided tours with the benefit of the magnetic loop, you can contact

LSF interpreters are welcome during public guided tours.

Guide dogs are welcome throughout the building, including in the exhibition rooms.

Some thirty of the most important works in the museum’s collections have been tactically adapted and made available online in the form of a downloadable kit, so that visually impaired persons can access them all over the world.

The association “L’Art d’inclure” offers cultural activities, including visits to museums suitable for people with visual impairments, deaf-blindness and the general public

As part of their mission to open their doors to all audiences, the museums of Plateforme 10 aim to encourage unobstructed participation in cultural life for people with and without disabilities.

The “Inclusive Culture” network of Pro Infirmis seeks to promote the participation of persons with disabilities in cultural life, in accordance with Article 30 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The members of the network recognise the “Charter of Cultural Inclusion” and are committed to long-term inclusion—working for this purpose in collaboration with persons with disabilities.

During the museum’s closure, all departments took action to draft the “Accessibility and Inclusion” Charter and to commit themselves to implementing accessible measures for the reopening.
