Summary/Abstract: The study will be presented investigation of special connection points between cultural and barrier free tourism. Museums have an important role to keep and demonstrate cultural values and transfer cultural knowledge. In this case, an examination will be covered through an example of a local history museum about how it can correspond to cultural and barrier-free tourism’s conditions beside the responsibility of knowledge transfer. Wosinsky Mór’s County Museum in Szekszárd is one of the biggest but not the most visited museum in Tolna county. We have reviewed the museum's target groups, attendance, accessibility rate of content and communication. The museum’s historical building is not prosperous for physical accessibility. The communication and content deficiencies are largely due to lack of financial resources. The museum is able to provide a funny learning experience to barrier-free tourism’s target group by using already completed parts, together with a visitor friendly attitude.
