Accessibility

This statement was last reviewed on 26 August 2026. An undated accessibility statement is not evidence of anything, so this one carries a date and will carry a new one each time it is checked.

The website

The site is built to WCAG 2.2 level AA as its target. In practice that means the following, and these are commitments rather than aspirations:

• Every page works without JavaScript. The navigation, the nine galleries, the booking form's field structure and every article are ordinary HTML.
• Every set-piece has a DOM equivalent. The site has several deliberately ambitious pieces of interface — the concentric navigator over the galleries, the hero, the object viewer. Each of them is layered over real content that is already there: the galleries are a list of nine links, the hero is a heading and two links, the viewer is an image. If the WebGL never loads, if the animation is switched off, or if you are reading with a screen reader, nothing is missing. This is a rule the build is held to, not a fallback that was added afterwards.
• Motion can be turned off, both by your operating system's reduced-motion setting, which the site respects, and by a toggle in the footer. Body text never animates in any case.
• Third-party embeds are facades. The map and the museum's film load only when you press a button, so nothing unexpected starts moving or playing.
• Text is set at 17–18px for body copy, with 15px as the floor for captions and labels. Nothing on the site is set smaller than 12px, and that only for uppercase labels.
• Colour is never the only signal, focus is always visible, and the site is operable from the keyboard throughout.
• Images carry real alternative text describing the object or the scene. A photograph the museum has not supplied yet renders as a visible, labelled gap rather than as a broken image or an empty box.

The building

The museum's Google Business Profile lists wheelchair-accessible parking, an accessible entrance and an accessible restroom. The museum's own published description of the building centres on a marble staircase rising to two curved doors.

Both of those things cannot be the whole picture, and the museum has not yet confirmed which is right. Rather than promise step-free access to every gallery, this page says plainly that the route through the building has not been verified by us. If access matters to your visit, say so when you book and the museum will tell you exactly what the route is before you travel.

What is being established, and will be published here once it is: whether there is a step-free route from the car park to every gallery, whether there is a lift or a ramp beside the staircase, where the accessible restroom is, and what seating there is in the galleries. Until each of those has an answer the museum stands behind, this page will not print one.

Getting here

The museum is in the Sitapura industrial estate, about forty-five minutes from the old city. There is no café on site. Full directions are on Getting here.

Telling us about a problem

If any part of this site is difficult or impossible for you to use, please tell us. Write to info@gyanmuseum.com. Say what you were trying to do, what happened, and which page you were on; if you were using a screen reader or any other assistive technology, name it, because it changes where we look first.

The address reaches the museum itself, and a report of a barrier is read the same way a booking is: by a person, by hand.

What has not been done

This statement is honest about its own limits. The site has not yet been through an independent accessibility audit, and no formal user testing with assistive technology has been carried out. Both are recommended before the museum claims conformance rather than a target.
