Description
After six years of renovation, the Musée national de la Marine reopened at the end of 2023 in Paris. The museum presents the universal accessibility approach developed on this occasion. Designed for all audiences, it addresses both physical access and access to content. Developed notably through co-creation with disabled people, it received the ICOM-CECA “Best Practice” award in 2024.
This peer visit will share the lessons learned from the accessibility work carried out during the renovation, now three years on from the museum’s reopening. During a tour of the permanent collections, participants will discover the interpretation tools and accessibility solutions put in place. The visit will continue with a workshop on the museum’s new projects: co-creation is now being extended to the health and social care sector to design new adapted activities, which will then be offered to all audiences. The resources developed in this context will be presented.
The workshop will be co-led by Lucie Aerts, Head of Learning, and Maelys Pratlong, Learning and Accessibility Officer, who will share their expertise and experience of the museum’s universal accessibility approach.
This visit will be conducted exclusively in French.
It is primarily intended for heads and officers in audience engagement, learning and accessibility. Registrations that do not match this audience may be cancelled to ensure the consistency of the group.
