Cultural Heritage Accessibility

The practice of making cultural heritage sites, monuments, museums, and artifacts accessible to people with disabilities through physical modifications, assistive technologies, and alternative formats. This includes tactile reproductions of artworks and architectural features, audio descriptions of visual elements, accessible pathways through historic buildings, and digital tools that provide equivalent experiences when physical access is limited. Cultural heritage accessibility addresses both the physical environment and the informational content, enabling people with visual, hearing, mobility, or cognitive impairments to appreciate and learn from cultural sites independently.
