ACCESSIBILITY 


Thorvaldsens Museum is an older building with many stairs. Unfortunately, this means that conditions for wheelchair users are not ideal.

The museum does not have an accessible entrance or elevator between its three levels. However, it is possible to visit the museum in a wheelchair if one or more companions can assist the guest with lifting the guest and chair from street level into the museum and, if necessary, between floors. Museum staff are also happy to assist.


ADMISSION
Visitors with disabilities may bring one companion free of charge.


PARKING
A vehicle displaying a valid disability sign may park at the designated public disabled parking space at Bertel Thorvaldsens Plads.

TOILETS
Unfortunately, the museum does not have accessible toilets.
We refer visitors to the nearby public and free accessible toilet at:
Ved Stranden 18A, 1061 Copenhagen K.

WHEELCHAIR USERS
The museum has a light wheelchair that can be borrowed and used by visitors. It is possible for visitors to visit the museum in their own wheelchair, if one or more companions can help bring the guest with disabilities and the wheelchair up from street level and into the museum as well as from floor to floor.
 
BIND AND VISUALLY IMPAIRED VISITORS
We offer blind and visually impaired visitors to feel selected marble works if wearing cotton gloves. Cotton gloves are handed out at the museum’s front desk. This must be done with assistance from a sighted person who can help guide them to the sculptures they are allowed to feel.
