Accessibility - Serlachius

At Serlachius Manor, the old manor building is mainly accessible. The extension is accessible. There is an accessible toilet in the museum premises. Most of the spaces in the extension also have induction loops. Disabled parking is located in front of the old manor building near the entrance.

At Serlachius Headquarters, the interior is designed for wheelchair access, and there is an accessible toilet. The entrance for the disabled is located at the left end of the building, near the disabled parking. When you need a disabled pass, turn to the staff.

Both of our museum destinations have wheelchairs, walkers and other aids for the use of visitors. You do not need to book them in advance, but if you wish, you can tell our sales service about your need in advance.

The luggage compartment of the Serlachius Art & Sauna Express bus, which operates during the summer seasons, can also accommodate electric wheelchairs. The bus itself, however, is not accessible. On the other hand, the smaller bus, which runs between the museum sites in the afternoon, can only accommodate foldable wheelchairs.

Our staff will assist you in any way possible during your stay. Assistants can enter museums, events and board the Serlachius Art & Sauna Express bus free of charge.

Borrowable noise-cancelling headphones

One can borrow noise-cancelling headphones from the customer service for the duration of the visit. They reduce ambient noise and thus make the museum visit more pleasant.

Borrowable EnChroma glasses

Visitors who have a feature in their eyes that interferes with colour vision can borrow EnChroma general glasses for the duration of the museum visit. If necessary, the glasses can be worn in addition to one’s own glasses. You can borrow the glasses from our customer service.
