Museums Association Conference - The Art of Creating an Inclusive Museum Visitor Experience

ERCO sponsored this years Museums Association Conference bringing visitors a virtual talk unpacking the toolkit for inclusive experiences within museums. Our Global Cluster Manager - Matthew Cobham - takes a look at one of the fastest growing museum visitor groups, namely older people and people with visual impairment. According to The Economist between 2000 and 2025, the number of people over the age of 65 will double. There are many important aspects to consider including, having the right light, not only so visitors can see and enjoy the artworks, but also to ensure the right preservation of collections. Traditionally this was challenging to achieve. Now both the needs of conservation and having the right light for visitors, for example with Bluetooth control can be achieved.
