WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY

Many of MOTAT’s public spaces are accessible, but as we are an operational museum spread over a large area with varying terrain, unfortunately not all areas are suitable for wheelchair access.

Areas with wheelchair access include exhibition halls and display spaces, the MOTAT Café and and the MOTAT Shops.

Both MOTAT locations have accessible toilet facilities and locations are shown on the map.

We have a limited number of wheelchairs available for use while you are at the Museum so please get in touch before your visit for information.

SOUND SENSITIVITY

MOTAT is a live museum with several working items that can produce loud noises. For those that experience sound sensitivity, a limited amount of earmuffs are available to use during your visit free of charge from the main entrance at both MOTAT locations.
