The Journey Museum strives to be a place that is accessible and inclusive to every individual and community that we serve. We believe that museums are an essential service that can be a place of belonging, dialogue, and healing for everyone. By listening to a diversity of voices and giving equal agency to all, we hope to create an inclusive home where everyone feels welcome and connected. The Journey Museum recognizes that barriers to access exist and seeks to remove those barriers to provide increased accessibility to all individuals.
