Making Museums Accessible for All – Pushing Limits – April 25, 2025

Ever visit a museum and feel like it wasn’t built with you in mind? Struggled to read the exhibit text, navigate a gallery space, or find someone who could help — all while being told the place was “accessible”? You’re not alone. And change is possible. Maia Scott This week on Pushing Limits, we’re joined by Maia Scott, a blind educator and disability advocate who’s working to transform how museums serve people with disabilities. Maia recently launched her own consulting business that focuses on partnering with museums and other cultural institutions to break down barriers whether they are physical or systemic. She brings her lived experience and creative insight to the conversation, sharing how inclusive design, tactile access, better signage, and staff training can open doors — not just for disabled folks, but for everyone. Whether you’re someone who’s felt excluded from these spaces, or you work in one and want to do better, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. This episode of Pushing Limits is hosted by Bonnie Elliott, produced by Jacob Lesner-Buxton, and edited by Denny Daughters.
