The Toledo Museum of Art Access Initiatives Documentary
A documentary on the efforts of the Toledo Museum of Art to enhance accessibility and inclusivity. The museum has focused on combining accessibility with diversity, equity, and inclusion by conducting audits, creating a dedicated Manager of Access Initiatives position, and making physical changes—such as installing wider sidewalks and accessible pathways. Staff members share personal experiences, which highlights the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities and the importance of adaptive programs. The museum's commitment to universal design and accessibility has been integrated into its culture, with staff embracing these values across all departments. These initiatives are supported by financial backing, expertise from partnerships, and a shift toward making the museum more inclusive.
