Maria Chiara Ciaccheri: Accessibility is the future: how to deal with it in museums?

Accessibility is an interdisciplinary concept that gives museums the opportunity to be inclusive and, consequently, more relevant. The potential offered by this area is much wider than the expected results, which are usually aimed only at people with disabilities: accessibility, in fact, fosters lifelong learning for anyone, promotes internal skills development, strengthens radical thinking, and supports the deconstruction of stereotypes. From traditional to postmodern museums, accessibility should always be considered a priority for any institution that wants to enter into dialogue with people. But how to start? What are the processes and steps to take? How to face the challenges?
