Abstract

Ovaj rad napisan je s namjerom podizanja svijesti o problematici fizičke pristupačnosti muzejskih zbirki u Zagrebu. Kroz jedan intervju i analizu literature, nastojalo se prikazati točno stanje u pogledu pristupačnosti zagrebačkih muzeja. Razina prilagođenosti varira od muzeja do muzeja, a ovisi o stupnju zaštićenosti zgrade u kojoj se muzej nalazi. Postojeća literatura prema kojoj je provedeno istraživanje je neadekvatna zato što autoricama nedostaje iskustva u radu s osobama s invaliditetom, a upravo je ova dimenzija ono što ovaj rad donosi. Iz intervjua s bivšom zaposlenicom Muzeja grada Zagreba, Snježanom Šalov, proizlazi da mogućnost provedbe prilagode ovisi o entuzijazmu pojedinaca i da nedostaje sustavna podrška. Posljednje poglavlje donosi već izrađene preporuke, koje imaju taj nedostatak da su previše fokusirane na mjere i brojeve, što često ne pomaže muzejskom osoblju. Nove preporuke koje ovaj rad nudi napisane su iz perspektive osobe s invaliditetom i proizlaze iz osobnog iskustva te uzimaju u obzir činjenicu da muzeji imaju ograničen budžet, u nadi da će olakšati proces prilagođavanja muzeja i osiguravanja fizičkog pristupa njihovim zbirkama.

Abstract (english)

This paper aims to raise awareness of the issue of physical accessibility of museum collections in Zagreb. This is achieved through the means of an interview and literature analysis, with the intent of understanding the accurate situation regarding the museum accessibility in Zagreb, the degree of which is museum-specific, and depends on the protection status of the museum building. The existing literature, on which this paper is based, is inadequate due to the lack of experience the authors have shown when it comes to working with people with disabilities. This missing aspect is precisely the perspective offered in this paper. It is evident, from the interview with Snježana Šalov, who is an ex-employee of the Zagreb City Museum, that the capacity of museum adaptation depends on the enthusiasm of individuals while support on a larger scale Is not present. The final chapter offers the existing museum adaptation recommendations, as well as expanding on them. A flaw of the latter is excessive emphasis on figures, which is why such recommendations often prove unhelpful to the museum staff. The new recommendations proposed by this paper have been formulated from the perspective of a person with disability, stemming from personal experience and acknowledging the fact that museum budget is often limited. The hope is that this paper will help guide the process of adapting museums and ensuring physical access to their collections.
