Manuhiri Hauā – Visitors with Disabilities
Whanganui Regional Museum is accessible to wheelchairs and prams via the entrance on Watt Street. Galleries and public toilets within the Museum are accessible to all.
While the Museum is often a quiet space, during school holidays or when education classes are present, this may not always be the case. Please phone on 06 349 1110 before your visit to check if groups that could affect noise levels are booked in. If you are attending an event at the Davis Theatre on Watt Street, there is ramp access from the car park behind the Museum.
Please contact the Museum if you are interested in a tactile tour designed for visually impaired visitors.
