You want to dig deeper into how to make museums more accessible for all?

A good way to start is to consult the results of our 3 year sister-project ARCHES, which consists of guidelines and publications, apps, multisensory materials, and games.

Some of our results can already be consulted in the Technology section. Furthermore, you can have a look at our useful documents for your own work with participatory research in museums, check out the dates of our workshops , and see a list of our academic publications .

You can also see the works of our participants, such as drawings, photos and videos, and the manifestos of the different groups.

Our efforts are dedicated to the heritage change-makers, to those who want to create an inclusive, accessible and barrier-free environment and to those who want to enable everyone to have a voice and relationship with their heritage.
