Abstract
Accessibility and inclusion in the frame of an archaeological museum are a critical issue, which deals with a wide range of barriers: not only those related to the sensory or motor disabilities, but also more generally the cognitive, cultural, economic and social ones. The work presented here has been built in synergy with the curators and staff of the Royal Museums of Torino, and in particular as part of the project Antichità Reali (Royal Antiquities), regarding the ongoing renovation of the Archaeological Halls. Starting from the assumption that being inclusive means listening to the needs, difficulties and expectations of the public, this work aims to create a knowledge base about the future users of the exhibition (not just visitors, but also scholars and technical staff in charge of its management), and to establish a common table with the Museum’s designers in order to develop general strategies and specific solutions.
