Ramps and Lifts

Currently, wheelchair users, or visitors with limited mobility, can access all areas of the Hunterian Museum by lift.

In the Hunterian Art Gallery, access is by ramp to the ground floor and then by lift to the basement and first floor Gallery 2.

Assistance Animals

Guide and assistance animals – including assistance dogs in training – are welcome at our venues. We ask that they are identified by wearing a jacket, a harness, or a brightly coloured collar and lead during your visit.

Portable Folding Stools

Portable folding stools are available in the Hunterian Museum. Please ask our Front of House staff if you need any help. 

Additional Accessibility Aids

While visiting our venues, a range of resources are available: 

Large Print Resources

Large print resources are available to support your visit and, where indicated, can be downloaded to print or to view on your own device.

Sensory Resources

For young neurodivergent visitors there are sensory bags at the Hunterian Museum and sensory aprons at the Hunterian Art Gallery.

Each is available on request at our welcome desks and offers materials to help young visitors feel relaxed and have a visual plan for their visit.
