Accessibility for people with reduced mobility
In Tortona street in Milan, in front of the museum, there is a parking space for disables.
The main entrance to MUDEC is at street level. It has double doors that open outwards. Visitors with reduced mobility can ring a bell to request assistance in opening the doors.
Wheelchairs are available at the ticket desk for visitors with walking difficulties.
The permanent collection and temporary exhibitions are on the first floor. They can be reached by lift as well as by stairs. The paths through the exhibition are flat.
Toilets for visitors with disabilities are located on the ground and at the second floor.
Easy MiG
The exhibition of the Permanent Collection “Milano Globale” is enriched by an inclusive tour. Created by MUDEC, IULM University, EURESIS and the International Center for Research on Collaborative Translation, the materials allow a self-guided tour thanks to QR codes on the floor. Visitors can use their smartphones to access the Easy MiG content: short and essential texts written in simple language that explain the objects on display. An accessible and concise tour, meant to facilitate attention.
The texts can be read or listened to. The texts are paginated to make them easier to read for users with dyslexia.
Distretto X
With your eyes
The MUDEC hosted the fourth edition of the participative project, ‘Distretto X: with your eyes‘, conceived to connect the Museums of the Municipality of Milan with the city and its communities.
The 2023 project involved people from the municipal CDD (Centri Diurni Disabili) and Milanese associations dealing with mental health.
The participants, with the support of operators and mediation tools, traced a geography of places and suggestions coming from the chosen work: possible and impossible journeys linked to the emotional sensitivity of each individual participant.
Thanks to the collaboration with students of IED (Istituto Europeo del Design) students, they have created videos describing their experience at the museum, giving a particular view of the city of Milan ‘through their eyes’.
The aim of ‘Distretto X’ is to enhance the participation of all citizens in the Civic Museums. By involving both Milanese communities and isolated and socially marginalized users, the project draws public’s attention to an idea of a museum that is increasingly open and connected to the territory, fostering a sense of belonging to the city and its museums.
