All Inclusive: Championing Accessible Museums

The Covid pandemic has disproportionately impacted the lives of disabled people, making it ever more urgent to ensure museums make access and inclusivity a central tenet of their work and tackle discrimination in all its forms.

As museums in the UK get ready to reopen their doors, how are they considering disabled access, representation and needs? What are the most pressing issues facing disabled audiences, workers and volunteers – and how can museums tackle these at a time of deep crisis across the sector?

Through provocations, case studies and panel discussions, All Inclusive: Championing Accessible Museums explores how museums can become truly inclusive spaces and representational platforms, and champion equality at every level.

This event is for anyone working towards diversity and inclusion at a museum or relevant organisation.
