Inclusivity design in the exhibitions
At the Kulturama, knowledge is imparted via several senses. Faithful reproductions of bones and organs are available in the permanent exhibition and enable tactile exploration. They are labelled on the corresponding tables. In addition to tangible objects, there are also listening stations with various sounds (heart sounds, lung sounds) in the «Discovery Trail».
Pictograms in the museum show the way to the exhibition rooms, the cafeteria and the toilets. The videos in the exhibitions are not subtitled.
