I love these gallery maps at Leeds City Museum. They are great for preparing you for what to expect and explains any access resources. Previous maps even included content and trigger warnings for specific areas. Such a simple way to embed accessibility into exhibitions. #Museums #Access 🏛🎓

Photo of a gallery maps for Miffy on a yellow background. The map shows the areas of the gallery including Dick Bruna, miffy in the tent, miffy goes to stay, miffy at school and miffy and friends. Text next to the map reads, 'Gallery map, Please use this map to help you access the exhibition. This map labels what you can expect to see. Seating is available and additional portable stools can be found outside the entrance to use in the exhibition space. Sometimes thtis gallery will be loud as we encourage both children and adults to interact in this space. Please ask a member of staff if you would like to borrow ear defenders. We have large print exhibition text available and also have a magnifying glasses available to help read labels, again please ask a member of staff.'

Finn Finity is Maths Week Scotland's mascot. A blue infinity symbol forms Finn's eyes, and the gap between its lobes is the rest of their face, coloured yellow and filled with a smile. from the bottom of the face protrude two legs, horizontally striped in pink and yellow, each ending in a yellow foot. Similarly coloured arms start at the outer extremes of Finn Finity's two lobes.
