The LAC actively and continuously promotes the cultural participation of people with disabilities and those in situations of physical or social vulnerability, ensuring accessibility and inclusion through a diverse range of activities, spaces, and services. The Cultural Mediation department develops projects aimed at anyone who wishes to engage with art, guiding its work by the principle of “barrier-free access to places, services, products, and activities, enabling everyone to live independently and with self-determination,” as outlined in the guidelines of the Swiss Museums Association. 

With this in mind, a strong partnership has been in place for several years with the Foundation for Information Technology in Support of People with Disabilities (FIPPD) in Lugano, which provides a scholarship for a female researcher working in the field of cultural mediation for people with disabilities. This collaboration enables the LAC to consolidate and further develop its accessibility and inclusion policy. 

The office is available to plan tailored visits, based on carefully listening to the specific needs of each group, to offer guided activities, and to facilitate participation in our programming. Welcoming all types of groups is a defining feature that fosters the development of skills and promotes a truly inclusive culture.
