Accessibility of ships and cranes (Getting around inside the museum)

The quays where the ships and cranes are in Leuvehaven are easily accessible from the museum building. From Schiedamsedijk, various staircases lead to the quays; some are steep, others are wide and with small steps. The ships and cranes can only be accessed via a gangplank and are unfortunately not accessible for wheelchairs.

Caretakers free (Special Assistance)

An accompanying person may enter the museum for free.

Guide dogs (Animals)

It is not permitted to bring pets, except guide dogs or assistance dogs that are accompanying a visitor with an identification card.
