Accessibility for Visitors
The museum is accessible to everyone.
We offer free admission and programming for all visitors and strive to make the museum accessible to visitors with disabilities.
TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) phone access is provided through Florida Relay Services at 800.955.8771. Large print versions of select exhibition text can be provided ahead of time by calling the Visitor Services desk at 352.294.7025.
We are ADA Accessible
We are proud to be ADA-accessible and provide an inclusive experience for all visitors. Our museum ensures ADA standards are met, with sufficient space for wheelchair maneuverability and clearance to move through the gallery spaces with ease. We offer a variety of assistive technology that allows our diverse visitors to connect with the space. Accessible parking and transportation options are provided. Restrooms are fully accessible, and we have single-stall restrooms with changing tables. Trained service animals are welcome, and we have wheelchairs and walkers available.
Our accessibility is possible with collaborations from UF’s Center of Autism and Related Disabilities, UF’s Disability Resource Center, and continual self-assessment of compliance with ADA standards. For more detailed information on our accessibility, please explore the “Additional Information” section below.
Assistive Technology
Large Label Text and Reading Devices
Wall labels are printed in 16-24 point and are mounted 48 inches from the floor to provide a comfortable viewing location for seated and standing visitors. Additionally, we have large print documents located throughout the galleries.
For those who need assistive listening devices, please visit the Visitor Services Desk to check out a device with reading capabilities.
Sensory Map
Use this Sensory Map (pictured right) to identify sensory-friendly and sensory-intensive spaces in the museum. The map indicates lighting and noise conditions, as well as spaces with projected video and audio.
Sensory Discovery Kits
Our sensory kits were developed to provide individuals with a deeper connection to the art on view. Each kit contains tactile and auditory aids providing alternative ways to explore and enjoy the Harn’s galleries and spaces. All visitors are welcome to check out these kits at the Harn Visitor Services Desk. These resources were created in consultation with UF’s Center of Autism and Related Disabilities.
EnChroma Color Blind Glasses
To ensure everyone can enjoy the beauty of the art on view at the Harn, we offer EnChroma Color Blind Glasses for visitors to check out at our Visitor Services desk. These glasses are available for both children and adults.
Hearing Loop System in our Auditorium
This listening technology can broadcast directly to a wide range of hearing aids, making for more accessible audio in our auditorium during talks and presentations. The Hearing Loop System provides a magnetic, wireless signal that gets picked up by the hearing aid when it is set to ‘T’ (Telecoil) setting. Headphones that are connected to the Hearing Loop System can also be requested. This technology was provided by a generous private grant.
