Accessibility at the City Museum

Svenska

With a few exceptions, the entire City Museum is accessible to everyone. We want you to be able to take part in as much as possible on your own terms.

We bring Stockholm's history to life through historic environments, backlit texts and tactile objects. Sound, light, animations and interactive features help everyone discover and learn in the way that suits them best.

The City Museum is housed in a listed building dating from 1680. It limits what we are able to do to create full accessibility throughout the building. But feel free to talk to one of our staff and we will help you!

Taxi and accessible transport

The nearest address for taxis and travel services is Peter Myndes backe 6. Below at Ryssgården there is an elevator to the museum’s entrance floor.

Accessibility inside the museum

The museum has three floors and it is easy to get around with a wheelchair and walker. The only exception is the Pihlqvist family’s home at the top of the museum. It can only be reached by a steep staircase. Otherwise, there are always ramps as an alternative to stairs.

If you need to use the elevator to Mellanrummet, please contact us at the information desk and we will be happy to assist you!

The gallery has a separate entrance with a platform lift for wheelchairs. Maximum weight 225 kilograms. If you have a heavier or powered wheelchair, you can borrow an ordinary wheelchair to exchange with.
