The July Museum has launched a special service providing free wheelchair access to visitors with special needs.
The service, which became operational on Tuesday morning, allows physically challenged visitors to access wheelchairs directly from the museum’s main entrance.
The museum has ensured that its infrastructure and exhibition halls are designed with barrier-free, wheelchair-friendly pathways to facilitate easy movement.
Under the new arrangement, visitors accompanied by family members or relatives can operate the wheelchairs themselves to tour the facility. For those arriving alone, the museum has assigned trained volunteers to guide them and provide necessary assistance throughout their visit.
"The July Museum is a place of memory and sentiment for every citizen of this country," said Director General Ehasan Mahamud.
"With the objective of ensuring that no physical limitation becomes a barrier to learning history and visiting the museum, we have added this special service. Alongside family members, our volunteers will be ready so that any visitor can explore the entire museum without any hassle. We want to build the July Museum as a completely inclusive and open institution for all," he said.
Visitors or their families can instantly avail of this service by contacting the museum's main gate upon arrival.
