The Vienna Museum is honored with the Zero Project Inclusive Arts Award, which is being awarded for the first time this year, for its comprehensive measures for accessibility.

A step-free access, tactile overview plans, and floor information ensure good accessibility, enable easy orientation, and facilitate movement within the building, according to a statement from the city of Vienna on Wednesday.

The Zero Project was founded in 2008 by the Essl Foundation and supports the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). "This award confirms that accessibility is not only an act of justice but also strengthens the cultural offerings as a whole," said Vienna's City Councillor for Culture Veronica Kaup-Hasler (SPÖ).
