Getting in

Entrance: You can reach the main entrance by wheelchair with no steps, and the door opens by hand. Older information describes a single door, smaller than a typical house gate.

Parking: The museum has no parking. Use a public or private lot nearby.

Inside

Floors: Wheelchair users can use only the first floor. The building's layout keeps the other floors out of reach by wheelchair.
Basement: The permanent exhibition starts in a dark, narrow basement. You get there by a narrow, rough path of crushed stone beside the building.
Stairs: The exhibition continues on the walls of the stairs up from the basement, so stairs are part of the visit. Older information gives the visit order as basement, second floor, then first floor.
Toilets: The museum has an accessible toilet. Call ahead to ask which floor it is on.
Wheelchair rental: The museum does not rent out wheelchairs. Bring your own.
