Inclusive Museum Conference: Enabling Diversity Sustaining Development
A panel of five speakers from NSW, Australia are presenting the session ‘Access to Museums: Inclusive Approaches to Attract Visitors with Disability,' at the second International Conference on the Inclusive Museum, to be held at the University of Queensland in July 2009.
The session will highlight leading practices in access at museums across the state including regional NSW. Alison McLaren, Accessible Arts' Audience Development Officer, will facilitate the panel and present a paper about incorporating accessible design into heritage museum spaces, based on research undertaken by Accessible Arts about the relationship between disability discrimination and heritage legislation. Speakers from the Museum of Contemporary Art, Australian National Maritime Museum, Age of Fishes Museum and Arts Access Australia will also participate. The conference is held annually in different locations around the world and attracts some of the leading thinkers in museum studies as well as leading practitioners.
