The museum has been modified for wheelchair access.

Museum Foyer

Direct wheelchair access to Arch One is by the main doors.

Ticketed area, Arches 2-4

Because of Trafalgar Street's downhill slope, the floors of the Museum's ticketed area and its foyer are at different levels.

To avoid the usual route from the foyer to the ticketed area (which involves navigating some steps), direct wheelchair access is provided to Arches Two to Four from the street via a second entrance (on the left of the Brighton Belle mural) which doubles as a general-purpose emergency exit. Customers requiring full wheelchair access are requested to call beforehand to ensure that staff will be on hand to provide outside access to the doorway from the street, and to set up the wheelchair ramps inside the Museum.

Other Facilities

Inside Arch One, the toilet on the right has significantly more space for wheelchair users.
