Declaration on Accessibility

Information in plain language

The law states:
Offices must make their Internet pages barrier-free.
So that all people can use the pages.
Even if they have a disability.

Barrier-free means:
Without barriers for people with disabilities.

The laws for accessibility are in the BGG.
This is the abbreviation for:
DisabilityEquality Act.

The rules for offices are in the BITV.
This is the abbreviation for:
Barrier-freeInformation Technology Ordinance.

We also want to abide by these rules.
So that all people can use our pages.
And all people can understand our info.

That is why we have made this explanation.
We explain here what helps there are on the site.
So that all people can use the page.

We also explain where there are still obstacles.
For example: For people with disabilities.

Is the Internet site according to the law?

We have made a self-test.
From January 19 to February 2, 2021.

This means that we have checked
whether we are complying with the law.

The result of the test is:
The Internet site is only partially barrier-free.
There are still obstacles for people with disabilities.

This is barrier-free:

  • There is info in plain language.
    So that everyone can read and understand the info.

  • There are videos to watch and listen to.

  • There are audio files to listen to.
    Here you can listen to the info.

This is not barrier-free:

  • There is sometimes no descriptionfor videos
    for blind or visually impaired.

  • There are descriptions for audio files.
    And there are silent videos without sound.
    But often there are no descriptions for people
    who can see or hear poorly.
    Sometimes there is too little description
    what is happening in the audio or video.

  • The foreign words are read aloud incorrectly.
    When using a read aloud service.
    Because German is always set as the language.

Help with questions and problems

You can report to the museum
what obstacles there are.
If you have problems with the Internet page.

The conciliation office will help you:
If you don 't get an answer from the museum.
Or if you are not satisfied with the answer.

This is the task of the conciliation service:
To help with disputes and problems with accessibility.

That is, it helps between the museum
and people with disabilities.

For example:
When Internet pages are not barrier-free.
And people with disabilities cannot use them.
That is against the law.
All people must be able to use the site.

You do not need a lawyer.
You do not need to go to court.

You can submit a request.
Then the conciliation office will help you.
The conciliation is free of charge.
