I spent MONTHS emailing and messaging The Getty about how absolutely dogshit their accessibility was and sending them detailed lists of changes they could make immediately and longer term achievable goals to their public and educational programming that would make one of the best funded art orgs in a major metropolitan area more accessible to visitors

And they finally changed all of their language and created an actual contact specifically for accessibility questions and told me they were created sensory specific programming for the future :)

As someone with chronic pain who wears braces basically everyday and will probably need some sort of mobility aid in the not-so-distant future, and as someone whose community includes disabled people, and as someone who is doing my best to work in museums I feel like it’s irresponsible to not be ferally furious when I go to museums for my coursework or for fun and they aren’t accessible or are only partially accessible.

(Or when I’m listening to a curator-led lecture on counter cultural art and zine production and there’s not anything in the entire exhibition about disability

Or when im the only one of my classmates on the tour wearing a mask)

If museums are supposed to be public community spaces and you make them inaccessible to physically disabled people or you actively don’t include disability in your preservation and display of cultural artifacts you are conveying a very specific idea of what your public and your community includes. It’s absolutely a value statement, even if it’s one born of inattention.

If you like the content on Museum Spaces please think about becoming a pledge on Patreon. My goal for Museum Spaces is to radically change the way that accessibility is approached in museums around the world. I cannot do that without your help!

If you enjoy the content of Museum Spaces, or believe that my cause is worth a dollar or two please consider becoming a patron. At the moment all associated costs (except a beautiful dollar) are covered by me. That includes webhosting fees, resources, and what it takes to review a museum itself (travel, tickets, food)

If you can’t pledge me please think about sharing this and my other posts to your followers.

I will continue to produce this content without patrons but your support will make it possible for me to do so more effectively!

Every week we’re asking our summer interns to share some thoughts and responses to various experiences and readings. This week we asked them to reflect on a recent Museum Accessibility workshop led by our visitor services coordinator Paige Woodhouse and to read and respond to a selection of articles – including suggestions for JMM to apply.

Went crazy on twitter talking about museums and the stigma of pro-rich accessibility. You can read it here. Oh, and you should totally take the poll at the @museumsassociation profile to help!
