Abstract

The concept of accessibility doesn’t only apply to people with disabilities. It is about everyone, as real people, with different skills and needs, in a permanent or in a temporary way. Talking about accessibility means celebrating human diversity. Talking about accessibility means facing with social role of museums in our society. Accessibility means more beauty, more comfort, more autonomy, more wealth for everyone. Since 2012 Fondazione CRT has been working with Fondazione Paideia on the initiative Museum operators and disabilities where museum staff are trained to welcome visitors with disabilities and special needs in the best possible way, in the awareness that "breaking down cultural barriers is an important step to really open up places of art to everyone".
