- Abstract
The paper focuses on communication and cultural accessibility in the light of the experience conducted since 2012 with the Museo Facile project. The project aims to promote and implement cultural access to museums thanks to an integrated communication system which is dynamic and understandable to a diversified audiences, with particular attention to people with disabilities. This system - combining traditional tools and new technologies (virtual, 3D reconstructions, QR-Code, etc.) - sees to the design and implementation of communication and multimedia contents based on principles of clarity, readability, graphic consistency and accessibility, and in keeping with national standards, as well as the European Union's goals in the cultural sector. The project's methodology assumes interdisciplinary comparison and participatory planning. Through this modus operandi, the deliverables that make up Museo Facile's tools have been created, redesigned and rethought starting from elementary interpretive materials for visitors (labels, information panels, gallery cards, signs, etc.) which keep in line with tradition while presenting important innovations in components like text, support, graphics. These materials gain in functionality and communicative effectiveness. Particular attention was paid to the text and to language simplification, as well as the study of their graphic design and structure which were informed by principles of Universal Design. Specific materials were integrated into the apparatus - in particular tactile panels and other typhlodidactic materials, videos in Italian Sign Language (LIS) - also favor an accessible and direct approach to museum collections for visitors with visual and auditory disabilities in order to facilitate integration and active participation of different audiences.
