San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art will integrate inclusive design for improved visitor access to interpretive materials for collection holdings, special exhibition presentations, and public engagement programs. Museum staff will work with inclusive design consultants as well as a Community Disability Advisory Group. Informed by a 2022 needs assessment that underscored the barriers to entry for visitors with disabilities, the project staff will expand visual descriptions for artworks on display, produce braille gallery texts, create tactile museum maps and artwork models, and increase the number of public programs that offer American Sign Language interpretation. Staff will make transcribed and captioned audio and video content available on the museum website. As a result of the project, the museum will improve staff competencies and workflows related to accessibility and inclusivity and enhance access for people with disabilities.
