The Belvedere is a place of engagement.
We have established guiding principles to ensure an inclusive museum experience for all. They help us put inclusion into action.
Our inclusive programs are created through collaboration with focus groups and industry experts to shape the museum and offer an engaging exhibition experience.

What do we mean by an inclusive museum, and how can art education play a role? How can we foster a better understanding of diversity? Can a museum be more inclusive than society at large? What steps can we take to address the need for inclusion in art education?
Mediating for greater inclusion
„Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.”

“To me, emotions aren’t just an addition to information; they are an essential component of the information.”
– Franz M., a participant in an “Anders Sehen” tour.
