Getting in

Entrance
You can reach the main entrance by wheelchair. The path and entrance are wide, with no step or slope. Sources differ on whether there is a ramp to the entrance, but both say a wheelchair can get in.
Door
You open the main entrance door by hand.
Parking
The museum has reserved accessible parking, and the way in is flat. Using the parking area is still a little difficult.
Ticket desk
Reaching the ticket desk by wheelchair is a little difficult. Using the information facilities is also a little difficult.

Inside

Elevator
The elevator has enough room for a power wheelchair. Some parts of it are not easy to use.
Toilets
Accessible toilets are on floors 1 and 3, separate from the regular toilets. Sources differ on whether they are separate. Ask at the ticket desk where to find them. There are separate men's and women's toilets.
Toilet room
The accessible toilets have enough room for a power wheelchair, but some parts are not easy to use. There appears to be a fold-down grab bar beside the toilet and an L-shaped bar on the wall.
Toilet door
The toilet entrance has a swing door that you open by hand. One glass swing door appears to have men's and wheelchair signs beside it, with partitions inside.
