Accessibility

The front door has two steps up to the entrance. There is also a step‑free side entrance with an automatic door. To reach the side entrance, follow the gravel path around the right side of the building to the back. Then turn left onto the gravel path that connects to the brick path in the alley between the buildings. The door will be on your left. There is a slight lip at the doorway. The automatic door is activated by the button to the right of the entrance.

The exhibit area has low pile carpeting and dim lighting. There is bench seating in front of the screen and room for mobility devices on the sides.
