Art galleries, museums, theatres and libraries
Most art galleries, museums, theatres and libraries in Queensland offer assistance and services for people with disability. Some of these may include:
- guided tours for visitors with a hearing or vision impairment
- Auslan-interpreted tours and services
- space for wheelchairs, mobility aids and prams for events and activities
- the use of adaptive technologies such as:
- Smartview—closed circuit magnifier that enlarges text and images on a colour monitor
- magnifying glasses for use while reading small print
- MAGic—screen magnification software with speech
- table-top magnifiers with built-in lights for library reading
- infra-red sound reinforcement for hearing impaired patrons
- professionally signed and audio described performances (selected theatre shows).
Because everyone's needs are different, it's a good idea to contact the venue to check they can accommodate your needs.
You can also find out if your local gallery, museum, theatre or library accepts the Companion Card.
