The Kunsthaus in Merano, South Tyrol, is a space dedicated to contemporary art and architecture. As one of the region's most active and long-standing art institutions, the Kunsthaus combines deep local roots with an international perspective, placing a particular emphasis on artistic production and critical debate. Open year-round, this cultural hub is completed by a conference room, a panoramic terrace, and the "Cicchetteria Kunsthaus Tapas", a welcoming bistro that enlivens the local artistic and social scene.

Rating: High accessibility

The Kunsthaus Merano offers a high level of accessibility in the heart of the pedestrian area. The main entrance is equipped with a ramp and an internal corridor with a slight slope (5%) leading to the ticket counter and the lift (cabin 120x120 cm, key available on request). The lift connects all levels, from the toilets in the basement to the conference room and the panoramic terrace. Although the screening room on the third floor has structural limitations, the rest of the exhibition route is easily accessible thanks to internal ramps. The "Cicchetteria Kunsthaus Tapas" bistro is accessible both from the inside (via the lift or a level door for the raised table area) and through its own barrier-free external entrance. The accessible restrooms feature folding grab bars and a baby changing table.

Note: The easiest access to the Kunsthaus Merano Arte gallery is through the main entrance located under the Merano Porticoes. However, it is also possible to enter the museum from the Cicchetteria Kunsthaus Merano, using the internal elevator to reach the ticket counter and the exhibition floors.

Note: The third floor is accessible by the lift (please request the key at the ticket counter). A large part of this floor and the terrace are easily visitable and barrier-free. A mobile rail ramp (two tracks) is available to overcome two steps. However, please note that access to the last room is more difficult due to additional steps: using the mobile ramp at this point would result in an excessive slope, making it too steep for safe use.

Note: The bistro "Cicchetteria Kunsthaus Tapas" is connected to the art gallery by an internal door. A section of the premises, featuring some raised tables, is on the same level as the museum and can be accessed directly without using the lift. However, to reach the counter and the main bar area located on a different level, it is necessary to use the lift. Inside the bar, there is a 75 cm narrow point between the counter and the stairs. The bistro also has its own independent, barrier-free external entrance.
