In brief — easy-to-read

Design principles

The portal is built to WCAG guidelines. The layout is mobile-first and keeps its content and functions from a width of 320 CSS px without horizontal scrolling, in both light and dark mode.

What we provide

  • Semantic HTML with landmarks (header, navigation, main content, footer) and exactly one H1 per page.
  • A “skip to content” link at the start of every page.
  • Full keyboard support and a clearly visible focus indicator.
  • All images have alternative text; decorative icons are hidden from screen readers (aria-hidden).
  • ARIA where it helps: the FAQ accordion (aria-expanded), breadcrumbs and active navigation (aria-current), and descriptive labels for links and buttons.
  • The site map is keyboard-accessible (labelled markers), and the museum comparison table is a focusable scroll region.
  • Respect for reduced-motion preferences (prefers-reduced-motion) — animations are disabled.
  • The content language is marked (lang attribute) with hreflang for the Polish and English versions.

Planning an accessible visit

Check accessibility before your visit

Conditions differ between museums and may change with exhibition arrangements. We therefore do not publish an unverified map of ramps, lifts or sensory conditions. Use the institutions’ visitor information and confirm individual requirements directly before travelling.
