Guildford Museum access information

Audio-visual displays

There are two films showing in the museum. One in an alcove to one side of the entrance and the other in the Guildford Stories Gallery. Both have images and commentary. The film about the history of the museum buildings by the entrance has subtitles. The film about the history of Guildford in the Guildford Stories Gallery has a paper transcript.

Dementia Friends

Some of the museum staff have had Dementia Friends training.

Induction loops

There is a fixed induction loop for hearing aid users. It covers the welcome desk and Temporary Exhibitions Gallery. We have a portable induction loop for meetings or talks in other areas.

Light levels

The light levels are low in some areas to protect objects such as the textiles. There is a mixture of natural and artificial light.

Noise levels

The museum is not a noisy place. But, school groups sometimes visit. If you want to avoid school groups, please contact us before you visit to find out if a school is due.
