Freemasons’ Hall and the Museum have step-free access. The Museum is on the first floor and all on one level with wide corridors and doorways. The wheelchair-accessible toilet is through some staff-only doors so please ask our friendly assistants for help.

The Museum is a quiet and friendly space with no loud noises or flashing lights.

Audio guides *Sorry, these are not available at the moment

You can rent audio guides in English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish. These guides are only relevant to the exhibits in the Museum’s North Gallery.

Visual access

We have printed the Museum’s information panels using standardised large text and colouring to make reading easier for the partially sighted.
