The entire Photo Elysée and mudac buildings are accessible to people with reduced mobility. Adapted toilets are available on each level of the building. Please note: staircase steps are not marked in contrasting colours. Lifts are preferable.

Folding chairs are available for people who are tired. Two wheelchairs are available on request from the building reception.

Visually impaired people

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

L’Art d’inclure association offers cultural activities, including museum visits, adapted for the visually impaired, deafblind, and other interested members of the public: www.lartdinclure.ch.

People with a hearing impairment

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.

The magnetic loop system amplifies the guides’ voices. People fitted with the system can follow the tour comfortably even if they are several metres away from the guide. The system is discreet and very easy to use.

  • Portable receivers are available on site for hearing-impaired visitors without hearing aids or with a hearing aid without a T position.
  • LSF interpreters are welcome on public guided tours.

If you would like to take part in the public guided tours and benefit from the hearing loop, please contact: Sylvie Fussen, reception manager, sylvie.fussen@plateforme10.ch.

Adapted tours and workshops

On request, mudac can organise tours and workshops tailored to your needs. Please contact: marie.jolliet@plateforme10.ch

As part of their mission to be open to all, the Plateforme 10 museums want to encourage barrier-free participation to cultural life by people with and without disabilities.

Label holders commit to the following five areas of activity: cultural offer, access to content, architectural access, job opportunities, and communication.
