Guildford Museum access information

Blind and visually impaired people

Audio-visual displays

We have two films showing in the museum. One in an alcove to one side of the entrance and the other in the Guildford Stories Gallery. Both have images and commentary but no audio description. 

Braille

Ask at the welcome desk if you would like a tactile map of the museum with braille. There are braille signs on important features such as stairs and the toilet door.

Large print

Large print copies of the text from permanent and temporary exhibitions are available. Ask at the welcome desk.

Light levels

The light levels are low in some areas to protect objects such as the textiles. There is a mixture of natural and artificial light.

Shop

There are items for sale in our shop, such as:

  • books
  • cards
  • toys 
  • gifts

If you would like to know exactly what we sell, ask the welcome desk staff.

Signage

The signs for the galleries are large, in a clear font and in colours that contrast strongly with the walls.
