MACBA has a commitment to culture. For this reason, we see accessibility as a fundamental right.
Since its construction, the Museum has been adapted architectonically and has integrated elements of communication without barriers in its signage.
As for the range of activities, MACBA offers integrated educational programmes that incorporate resources adapted to a wide diversity of users. Moreover, a permanent team of educators is available to the public, who can attend to and accompany visitors through the exhibition galleries. Adapted visits are also available and can be personalised according to the individual needs of the visitor or group.
Believing that art must act as a cohesive and integrating factor that enables everyone to enjoy an artistic experience of the highest standards, MACBA is extending its accessibility programme with the aim of guaranteeing this fundamental right in all areas (human, architectural and content), until Universal Accessibility is achieved.
MACBA has ramps, lifts that connect the different floors and seats on every floor. It also has adapted toilets.
Visitors have access to two wheelchairs, which can be requested at the museum ticket desk.
Visitors who are confined to a wheelchair can request eyeglasses at the museum ticket desk, enabling them to examine the works more easily.
Upon request, guided tours of the exhibitions can be arranged for people with mental, intellectual or psychological disabilities.
MACBA has two eyeglasses available for people with impaired vision, which can be obtained from the museum ticket desk.
Guide dogs and assistance dogs are welcome throughout the building. We also have water bowls for dogs, which can be requested at the museum ticket desk.
