ACCESSIBILITY FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN CREATING INCLUSION-BASED SERVICES IN THE ASIAN-AFRICAN CONFERENCE MUSEUM

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of museum accessibility for people with disabilities, especially in the context of the Asian-African Conference Museum (KAA) in Bandung, Indonesia. This research aims to determine the accessibility of the KAA Museum in its efforts to demonstrate social inclusion, especially for people with disabilities. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach to explore the challenges, efforts and impacts of accessibility on museum visitors. The KAA Museum emphasizes its commitment as a "Museum for All" by providing braille books, audio books, wheelchairs and sign language guides. Future challenges such as improving facilities and technology will provide opportunities for the KAA Museum to continue to improve accessibility and be inclusive for all visitors regardless of their background or disability. In addition, the KAA Museum collaborates with various communities to improve access for people with disabilities.
