All rooms of the Kunsthalle Osnabrück are accessible at ground level. If an exhibition is not barrier-free, this will be indicated. Barrier-free toilets are available. Visits with an assistance dog are permitted.

All exhibition texts are written in plain language. Other accessibility measures, such as translations into audio description or DGS (German Sign Language) are indicated at the respective events or exhibitions.

There is a readable audio exhibition tour for all exhibitions of the annual themes. The QR code for the tour can be found at the Kunsthalle reception desk.

Gendering of the texts: The content listed is not barrier-free for the following reasons. Due to the introduction of non-exclusionary language, we are introducing gendering in plain language. Professions or groups of people are gendered with “:”. This means that women, men and non-binary persons are addressed equally.

This statement was created on 21/08/2020. The assessment is based on our own self-assessment, the measures taken by the programmers and consultation with the translators into plain language.
