The expansion and redevelopment works carried out as part of the Territorial Development Project Vivi BarGui! Communities, Experiences and Routes around Lake Omodeo, through the initiative “From Ghilarza to the World”: The Antonio Gramsci Museum Complex, made it possible to remove the architectural barriers previously present within the Antonio Gramsci House Museum.
Access for visitors with disabilities is guaranteed throughout all areas currently open to the public.
At the same time as the redevelopment works, the museum exhibition layout was also completely renewed.
All rooms within the House Museum are equipped with touchscreen displays containing information about the objects, documents, and photographs on display. The screens are fitted with adjustable support arms that allow them to be lowered, raised, or tilted according to visitors’ needs.
The touchscreen displays provide direct access to icons and software without the use of complex peripheral devices, while images can also be enlarged. Audio testimonies are available within the displays and can be accessed using headphones.
