Accessing MoBA
Physical access
The Museum of Bath Architecture is housed in the Countess of Huntingdon’s Chapel.
The entrance, shop and main museum room – which houses the museum’s permanent collection and changing exhibitions – are all level access.
There are three steps up to the ‘Countess’ Room’ – which explains the history of Selina, Countess of Huntingdon, for whom the chapel was built – and three steps up to the back of the scale model of Bath.
Seating
There are seats located throughout the museum.
Accessible toilet
Unfortunately, the museum toilets are located up three steps and then down a flight of stairs.
Guides
Our volunteer guides are based in the shop and are happy to give additional help if required. Please let them know if you require any assistance when you arrive.
Assistance dogs
We welcome suitably trained assistance dogs at the Museum.
To protect the collection in our care and for everyone’s comfort and safety, your assistance dog must be under your control during your visit. Where possible, your dog should remain on a lead and wear a relevant tabard or harness.
Identification for assistance dogs
Where possible, dog owners should bring their Assistance Dogs UK (ADUK), Assistance Dogs International (ADI), the International Guide Dog Federation (IGDF), or a similar organisation identification. Your dog should wear an appropriate tabard or harness. This is not a requirement for entry, but assists staff to identify those who may need additional assistance.
In cases where your assistance dog is not registered, please understand that if your dog does demonstrate behaviour inappropriate to a suitably trained assistance dog, we reserve the right to deny entry to ensure the safety of our staff, volunteers, visitors and collections.
Assistance animals that are not dogs
If you plan to visit with an assistance animal other than an assistance dog, please get in touch to discuss your request with us to avoid disappointment on the day, by emailing [email protected].
