Entrance via Vita huset

The entrance to the museum is located in the so-called Vita huset, at Tegnér Square between Adelgatan and Stora Algatan. A cobblestone street with a curb and a gently sloping hill leads to the museum's entrance. You can find an automatic door opener to the right of the door. Vita huset is adapted for wheelchair users.

Entrance to the northern area

The museum's two areas, southern and northern, are connected by a tunnel and stairs under Adelgatan. If you cannot use the stairs, you can instead enter the northern area via the “Green Gate” at Karlins Place north of the main entrance. Ask the entrance staff for a code, which you then enter at the gate (the code changes daily).

Open-Air Museum and Exhibitions

In the open-air museum with historical buildings, the walking surfaces are covered with gravel, except for some cobblestone streets that can be difficult for wheelchairs to traverse. Several of the historical buildings have high thresholds and are not accessible for wheelchairs. A couple of houses have low doorways combined with high thresholds, which can be difficult to enter.

In the open-air museum, there are also buildings with exhibitions. Most exhibitions can be accessed via ramps and/or elevators, but sometimes you have to take a detour. Feel free to ask entrance staff or museum hosts for advice.  

Hearing Loop

The Auditorium is equipped with a hearing loop. Feel free to ask the staff for help finding a good spot in the room if you want to use the hearing loop.

We will soon add more accessibility information on this page.
