Çiğdem Aslantaş, MusePaths: A Digital Roadmap for Museum Accessibility

  • 29 May 2025 (Day 2)
  • 14:00 – 15:00
  • Zagreb City Museum
  • Facilitator: Irena Ruzin

Museums connect communities and preserve heritage, yet many remain inaccessible to individuals with disabilities. This session explores the journey of Bongo Art Project and the creation of “MusePaths”—the first digital platform for museum accessibility assessment, developed with TED University and Wikimedia Türkiye. 

Through storytelling and interactive demonstrations, participants will discover accessibility challenges, strategic interventions, and the impact of MusePaths. They will test the platform firsthand and gain practical tools to enhance inclusivity in their institutions. Designed for museum professionals and advocates, this session highlights how digital innovation can transform museums into truly accessible spaces for all.
