Fast Facts – Accessibility
Over the next few months, we will present fast facts about the reimagined Museum. This week’s theme is accessibility.
Once Paisley Museum reopens in 2024, there will be:
- New lifts and step free access to museum galleries on all levels of the building
- Toilets on all levels, including a Changing Places room by the new entrance.
- A new observatory garden with ramps providing step free access between the museum and the observatory.
- Public access to Transit House (which defines Paisley’s very own Greenwich meantime) for the first time in decades.
