Access

The Foundling Museum is committed to making its facilities accessible to all visitors.

The Museum’s entrance and public spaces are wheelchair accessible with lift access to all floors. A complimentary wheelchair may be borrowed at Museum Reception. Wheelchair-accessible toilets are located on the lower ground and ground floors. Floor plans are provided here. To pre book the wheelchair please call +44 (0)20 7841 3600.

Carers of those with disabilities are admitted free of charge.

With advance notice, the Museum offers guided gallery visits to children and adults with learning difficulties and physical impairment, including touch tours for those with visual impairment/registered blind. This service is also offered to visitors with hearing impairments/registered deaf, although the Museum cannot provide BSL interpretation.

Widgit's Accessible Services

The Foundling Museum worked with Widgit to produce a symbol-supported Museum trail, which visitors can download here or collect at Museum Reception. The Widgit trail is also available to SEN teachers.
