Met x Parsons Museum Accessibility Collaboration : Accessible Wayfinding Project.

Inspiration and concept

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has different galleries and these different galleries are difficult to navigate especially for people with disabilities.

Our path-finding mobile application allows visitors to create a personalized map for their accessibility needs. The visitor will be able to select from current exhibitions, galleries, and artists they want to see, choose accommodations such as ramps, bathrooms and quiet corners to rest, and a custom route is created for them. Through our application, visitors with disabilities can enjoy their visit to the museum without added stress.
