Description

We have created a visitor-friendly space in a former school workshop building on the historic premises of Gdańsk Shipyard. We want to talk with our visitors about the contemporary world through the medium of art, and bring art itself closer to the viewer, make it understandable and accessible to all.

ACCESSABILITY NOTICE: https://nomus.gda.pl/pl/deklaracja-dostepnosci

If you are a person with visual impairment, before you visit NOMUS, contact the
museum staff (email: kontakt@nomus.gda.pl) to learn more about whether the
exhibition is accessible to someone with your particular disability (new exhibitions
may differ with regard to their accessibility and layout).
The building is convenient to navigate due to its large spaces, flat surfaces, an
elevator with sound signals and an accessible toilet. The building’s architecture is
challenging due to: unsecured structural elements (supports on the way to the ticket
office, slopes) stairs with no contrastive markings, no attention fields or guide paths.
Audio guides are not available.
The building is new or renovated, but only adapted to the needs of visitors with motor
impairment.

If you are a person with hearing impairment, before you visit NOMUS, contact the
museum staff (email: kontakt@nomus.gda.pl) to learn more about whether the
exhibition you would like to view is accessible to someone with your particular
disability (new exhibitions may differ with regard to their accessibility and layout).
The museum does not employ a Polish Sign Language interpreter. The staff do not
use this language either.
No interpreter. No amenities for visitors with hearing impairment.

If you are a person with motor impairment, before you visit NOMUS, contact the
museum staff (email: kontakt@nomus.gda.pl) to learn more about whether the
exhibition you wish to view is accessible to someone with your particular disability
(new exhibitions may differ with regard to their accessibility and layout).
The museum is great due to being wheelchair-accessible – there is a ramp, the
passageways are wide, and the building features an accessible lift and toilet.
As far as electric wheelchair are concerned, on a scale of 1 to 5, I would rate the
accessibility as 4. In my opinion wheelchair accessibility has been taken into
account, the exhibition is well-thought-out, well visible, the passageways are good,
there is enough space.

If you are a guardian of a person or child with intellectual disability / autism spectrum
disorder, before you visit NOMUS, contact the museum staff (email:
kontakt@nomus.gda.pl) to learn more about the accessibility of the exhibition you
wish you view (every new exhibition may vary in this regard and have a different
effect on the person you are looking after).
The building is very accessible to visitors with intellectual disability. This is due to two
major features: the space – well lit, accessible and friendly, and the staff – who are
eager to help and empathetic. The calm-down room is a very important feature of the
museum.
The building is adapted to visitors with autism spectrum disorders. Nice space, large,
well-lit, competent staff, places to rest. Accessible space.
