The accessibility sector of the LAC is committed to making its activities more and more inclusive. A person is on hand to facilitate visits to the facility, to exhibitions, to facilitate understanding of content and to organise changes to activities offered by cultural mediation. We also welcome projects for people with Alzheimer's and dementia.
In the Accessible Events section of our website you can view the projects and make contact with the person in charge. These same contacts are also valid both for announcing if you are interested in any activities and for requesting information:
