About: There is growing demand for equal access to culture for people living with a disability who have historically encountered many barriers to cultural opportunities. Digital technology offers great opportunities for cultural organisations to respond to access inequalities and to incorporate universal digital design into all aspects of their work.

Access all Areas sought to demonstrate that improving digital access has benefits to all visitors and to showcase some of the great accessible digital projects currently being delivered in the Museum sector. it also explored some of the challenges Museum and Galleries face when seeking to achieve equal access.
