Accessibility

The Horne Museum has always been sensitive to the theme of cultural and social inclusion, sharing its collection and presenting its contents in a manner designed to meet the needs of different targets.

Thanks to the European Union-funded PNRR project call “Removing Physical and Cognitive Barriers in Museums, Libraries, and Archives to Enable Wider Access to and Participation in Culture” – NextGenerationEU, the museum has renovated the spaces dedicated to educational activities and improved the accessibility of the collections, making it a more welcoming place.

Welcome Project

We Encourage Living Collective Open Museums Experiences

The Horne Museum is part of the WELCOME Florence Museums Network (We Encourage Living Collective Open Museums Experiences), formed by seven Florentine museums in order to strengthen services for museum visitors, with special attention to the needs of disadvantaged audiences.
The Musei Welcome Firenze network consists of museums that are diverse in type and membership. It aims to spread knowledge of museum collections to the most diverse audiences. The network’s initiatives are meant to establish museums as inclusive, engaging, and well-being spaces.
The project enjoys the financial support of the Regione Toscana.
