Accessibility

Our main goal for Museum Night Fever is to make sure everyone can fully enjoy this special night. We know that accessibility during such an event can be challenging. 

That’s why, for the past four years, we’ve been teaming up with local experts to make the museums and the event as accessible as possible. To read more about the accessibility of each location, have a look at their accessibility fiches on their specific museum page. The information provided comes from self-assessment forms submitted by the museums.

Are you a Brussels museums visitor? That’s awesome!
But heads up, there will be several changes to access, circulation, and visitor flow due to the many artists performing. 

Want to discover all the facets of programming?
Follow the Open Museum label for inclusive activities.
Open Museum is an initiative by Brussels Museums aimed at supporting museums in their efforts towards inclusion. To guide you through the night, we have highlighted inclusive activities under the « Open Museum » label. The choice will be difficult: 

Discover rhythms ranging from Iran to Cuba, get your face painted to shine all night long, join your voice and hands in a sign language choir, and party with our drag queens.
These gems can be found in 11 museums during Museum Night Fever. Have a look at our selection! 

Disclaimer:
This label only applies to the selected activities. For more information on the physical accessibility of the venue, please consult the accessibility sheets on the museum’s dedicated page.
We would like to especially thank this year’s partners, Oranje vzw and Passe-muraille, for their support and expertise. And also the Loterie Nationale for its support in programming inclusive activities. 

Check all museums’ self-assessment forms regarding their physical accessibility, available on this page and on each museum’s page.

Where can I find information on museum accessibility during MNF?

All self-assessment forms concerning physical accessibility during Museum Night Fever are available (higher up) on this page as well as on each museum’s page.
During the night, volunteers trained in accessibility will be present at strategic locations to help you find the elevator, toilets, etc. They will also have real-time information about nearby obstacles and waiting lines at the closest museums, to guide you to your next MNF adventure.
You will recognize these volunteers by their reflective vest and badge. They will be available from 6:30 pm to 11:30 pm.

How do I exchange my vouchers for the MNF bracelet?

To start your Museum Night Fever adventure as quickly as possible, we encourage you to exchange your tickets for a bracelet in advance. This will save you precious time and avoid queues for scanning at the museums. 

Our information point is located at 18 Ravenstein Street, 1000 Brussels, right in front of the Bozar ticket office, and will be open from October 16. Unfortunately, this location is not accessible. You can also buy your ticket directly at a museum offering presales, where you will immediately receive your bracelet.

I want to take the MNF shuttles during the MNF, are they accessible?

The shuttles operated by STIB are accessible to people with reduced mobility.
We prioritized the use of permanent STIB stops, but some temporary stops will also be set up. On our Google Maps, on the « Mobility » page, you can check whether a stop is temporary or a permanent STIB stop.
Due to ongoing construction work, especially around Place Royale, we are unfortunately unable to provide fully accessible routes in public spaces.

Disclaimer: Due to the large crowds, shuttles may be very crowded.

I have more questions about the accessibility of a certain museum?

Each museum has a dedicated accessibility contact person. You will find their contact details on the museum’s accessibility sheet. Do not hesitate to reach out before the evening if you have specific questions.
