Accessibility

The National Museums of Cagliari are accessible establishments that make constant improvements to their services for all users. Thanks to the “Liquid Museum” project for online access to “culture without obstacles” that was funded by MiBAC from 2014 to 2016, the museums have become even more inclusive.
The museums staff are trained to welcome and assist visitors, in order to make their visits to the museums as enjoyable as possible.
