On 27 March, we invite you to join a workshop online organised by OBMIN with the Berlinische Galerie, dedicated to accessibility and inclusive museum practices. This workshop is a direct result of our study visit within the Cultural Guardians program that took place last fall. During that visit, Ukrainian museum professionals had the opportunity to learn about the Berlinische Galerie’s long-term approach to inclusion. Berlinische Galerie – Museum of Modern Art, Photography and Architecture Towards an accessible museum: measures and strategies
Speaker: Andreas Krüger

The Berlinische Galerie collects, researches, presents and interprets Berlin art from 1870 to the present day. In order to make its exhibitions accessible to a wide audience, the institution has been striving to transform itself into an inclusive museum since 2013. A milestone in this process is the permanent exhibition design, which is adapted to the needs of people with disabilities: tactile models, a tactile floor navigation system and an audio guide with visual and descriptive text enable blind, visually impaired and sighted people to visit the museum independently. The programme is complemented by services in German sign language and guided tours in easy language.

Since 2019, Andreas Krüger has been responsible for the accessibility education programme as accessibility and integration officer. He is also involved in improving accessibility in the museum and advises employees and cultural institutions at home and abroad on this issue.
