ACCESSIBILITY
Hamilton Gallery welcomes all ages, abilities and demographics to our free public gallery, and we are working to improve the accessibility of our spaces for every visitor.
We have step-free access and a lift to the first-floor gallery. The mezzanine is currently accessible only via stairs with a handrail. Exhibitions may feature audio recordings alongside visual experiences, and spaces are often suitable for those with heightened sensitivities to light/sound/movement, though please check with us about our current exhibitions if this is of concern.
Our closest all-abilities bathroom is in the adjoining Hamilton Library.
If you have specific needs or questions or would like to request images or a floor plan of our facilities, please email us and our team will do our best to assist you.
