Museums in Greece: Social Inclusion and Accessibility

Abstract

The research investigates the museum sector in Greece and in particular the social inclusion and accessibility for people with disabilities. To obtain relevant information, I conducted a desk online research and reviewed relevant bibliographies. Also, I conducted semi-structured interviews, in person and by telephone, with ten Greek museum professionals aged between 30-45 years. The participants highlighted issues relevant to the difficulties the museum faces nowadays in Greece and what motives can be given to organizations in order to improve the participation of people with disabilities, particularly those with visual impairments.
