You will reach the museum's enabled access from Paavo Nurmen puistotie, a parkway between the museum and the City Theatre. There is an open gate without steps, that will lead to the terrace and the main entrance. A ramp is leading to the main doors, which are fitted with an electric opener.

The lobby, toilets and Café Wäinö are fully accessible.

The galleries

The main galleries are in three levels. There is a stairlift to the first level and a lift between the first and second levels. Capacity of the lift is 225 kg. The third level and the WAMx gallery are only accessible by stairs.

A safer space

  • Our museum is free of any kind of harassment, bullying or discrimination as an institution and workspace. In WAM everyone has the right to be themselves.  
  • Treat others with considerate manner and kindness.
  • Discussion over art is welcomed – but remember to give everyone their own space to enjoy art in peace.
  • Art can be emotive. There is room for many different interpretations in WAM. If you disagree with us or other patrons, do it respectfully.
