3. Smithsonian Guidelines for Accessible Exhibition Design



 
Accessible design must be a part of this new philosophy of exhibition development because people with disabilities are a part of museums' diverse audience. Discovering exciting, attractive ways to make exhibitions accessible will most directly serve people with disabilities and older adults. But to name an audience who will not benefit by these designs is impossible. Accessibility begins as a mandate to serve people who have been discriminated against for centuries; it prevails as a tool that serves diverse audiences for a lifetime. Director: Beth Ziebarth
