Musée de la Photographie Brussels
The Musée de la Photographie in Brussels presents an impressive overview of the history of photography, from the first daguerreotypes to contemporary digital images. The permanent collection features works by international greats and Belgian photographers, supplemented by temporary exhibitions on themes such as documentary photography, fashion and fine-art photography. The museum also hosts lectures, workshops and guided tours.
The museum is fully accessible for wheelchair users. The main entrance is step-free via an automatic sliding door, and a spacious lift connects all exhibition floors. The wide walkways between the exhibition rooms and the smooth flooring make for easy viewing. Adapted toilets are available on different floors. Wheelchairs can be borrowed free of charge at the desk.
A dedicated car park with accessible parking spaces is located next to the museum, and the path between the car park and the entrance is fully paved. Adapted tram stops with low-floor trams are a few minutes away by wheelchair. Visitors with a European Disability Card and their companion get free admission, and the museum regularly organises activities specifically for guests with a disability.
