Museum Plantin-Moretus Antwerp

Museum Plantin-Moretus is one of the oldest and most remarkable printing museums in the world, housed in the former home and workshop of the Antwerp printing family Plantin-Moretus. The collection has been recognised as UNESCO World Heritage and includes the oldest surviving printing presses, craft presses from the sixteenth century, a monumental library and portraits by Peter Paul Rubens. The complex around the tranquil inner garden offers a unique insight into Renaissance printing.

The museum is largely accessible for wheelchair users. An adapted entrance in the side street provides step-free access, and a lift connects the various floors. Adapted toilets are available in the reception area. Inside, most galleries have sufficiently wide walkways; a few historic rooms on the upper floors have narrower doorways, which can be a challenge for wider wheelchairs.

The Vrijdagmarkt in front of the museum consists of historic cobblestones, which can be uncomfortable in places. The paved pavements and adapted routes from the Groenplaats offer an alternative. There is no dedicated car park, but the nearby public Steen and Oudaan car parks have adapted spaces. Visitors with a European Disability Card and their companion receive free admission.
