Barrier-free museum
The German Emigration Center is a barrier-free museum, which is designed in different ways for people with special needs: Elevators and wide corridors make all areas of the museum accessible to walking disabled persons and for wheelchair users, so that they can explore the exhibition without any restrictions. The museum also has two folding wheelchairs, which can be used free of charge for the duration of the visit.
For people with hearing disabilities, printed texts of selected biographies of emigrants and immigrants are available at the museum ticket counter. These replace the audio stations at which visitors follow the biographies of emigrants and immigrants. Guided tours in sign language are offered for groups. An early registration is required.
Sound stagings, such as the screeching and squeaking of the steamship in the exhibition room “On the pier”, or the creaking of the wooden floorboards in the cabins of the third class, allow the blind and vision-impaired to experience the path of the immigrants and emigrants. Furthermore, on specially booked tours accompanied by our tour guide, they can touch figures and other exhibits and explore the museum in a variety of ways. Trained guide dogs may also be taken into the exhibition. And for those who have forgotten their reading glasses: The German Emigration Center has a selection with very different visual strengths – just ask at the ticket counter.
In front of the museum there are parking spaces for people with disabilities. The entrance to the foyer is stepless.
