Summary/Abstract: Accessibility in museums is a highly discussed topic among researchers and museum professionals. Nowadays, in the post-pandemic world, accessibility becomes an even more important element of museums activities.

The analysis was performed according to predetermined accessibility criteria. The collected results may constitute a set of good practices for other museums that want to adapt their offer to the diverse needs of visitors.
