Vrak – Museum of Wrecks aims to make the exhibits as accessible as possible for as many as possible. For anyone interested, special language support is available which will read the texts from the exhibits out loud from your mobile phone. Before you enter the exhibition area, scan the QR code with your phone to access this feature, or speak with a staff member who can help you get started. The exhibition texts are available in English here (link).
Fragrant products are used in one of the museum’s exhibitions and in the café.
Feel free to ask the café staff about what a food product contains. The café also serves gluten-free and lactose-free options. The food may contain traces of nuts.
There might be a risk of epileptic seizures in connection with the screening of the film in the exhibition The Sea of Memories on the ground floor.
This part of the exhibition can be avoided. Instead, go directly to the room next door to the exhibition Resande Man. Feel free to ask the staff for help on site.
Animals are not allowed into the museum except for trained service dogs.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if you have any tips on how Wreck can become a more accessible museum.
