Accessibility in Porvoo

Runeberg’s home is located on a slope that descends towards the river. The museum is accessed via a cobblestone-paved sidewalk. The inner courtyard is gravel-covered.

There are steps leading to the main entrance of Runeberg’s home, with 13 steps. The steps have handrails on both sides at a height of 100–110 cm, but they do not extend to the last steps at the bottom. The entrance threshold is 17 cm high on the outside and 8 cm high on the inside.

There are benches on the porch and in the yard. On the porch, there is a bench without a backrest and armrests, with a height of 36 cm. The bench is sheltered from the rain. In the yard, there are two benches with backrests and armrests, with a seat height of 43 cm.

The accessible entrance to the museum is located at the back of the building. If necessary, the gate near the entrance can be opened for drop-off traffic. The museum does not have its own accessible parking spaces.

There is an entrance at the back of the building, accessed via a steep metal ramp. The ramp is 120 cm long and has a 20% incline, and the yard slopes at the point where the ramp is located. Using the ramp without assistance may be challenging. The ramp has edges that prevent the wheels of assistive devices from slipping off the sides. The door has a wooden threshold that is worn and rounded.

In the entrance area, there is a stairlift that is 76 cm wide and 107 cm long, with a weight limit of 300 kg. The lift has fold-down edges to prevent slipping off during ascent. When using the lift, be aware of the automatically lowering rails, which slightly narrow and shorten the available space. The museum staff will start the lift and provide instructions for its use.

The stairlift is not recommended for large electric wheelchairs. The staff will assist with the use of the device; if needed, please call +35840 489 9900.

The stairlift brings the user to the entrance hall, from where they proceed inside over two thresholds. The thresholds have been beveled with removable wooden and metal ramps, but there is a height difference of about 4–5 cm between some of the thresholds and the ramps. The ramps are 25–50 cm long and have a slope of 15–24%. Assistance may be needed to move over the thresholds.

Lobby Area

The wooden floors in the lobby area have sturdy rugs that do not pose a tripping or slipping hazard. It is easy to move on the rugs with a wheeled assistive device. The service desk is 106 cm high.

The coat rack in the museum’s cloakroom is at a height of 170 cm. There are storage lockers available that are easy to reach regardless of the user’s height or assistive devices. Plastic protective shoe covers must be worn indoors, which can be put on while sitting on a bench. The benches without backrests and armrests are 45 cm high.

Inside the museum, there are foldable chairs available for visitors.

Some rooms in the museum have thresholds. The wooden thresholds are worn and rounded at the edges, making it possible to cross them with most wheeled assistive devices, with assistance if needed. The thresholds are approximately 3 cm high.

The thresholds have been removed from the part of the building that Runeberg himself used.

The width of the doorways varies, with the narrowest being 85 cm wide. Most rooms have ample space to move around with assistive devices, and the furniture is generally arranged to leave reasonably wide passageways. In some cases, large plants may narrow the passageways.

The bottom of the crystal chandelier in the largest room is approximately 180 cm high, which may pose a collision hazard for taller individuals.

The wooden floors are mostly covered with sturdy rugs.

Restroom

The toilet facility is in an outbuilding. It is accessed via a 125 cm long ramp with an approximate incline of 17%. The ramp has edges that prevent the wheels of assistive devices from slipping off the sides.

There is 80 cm of space to the left of the toilet seat in the restroom. The toilet seat has fold-up armrests attached, which are 66 cm high. Next to the toilet seat, there is a paper holder and an emergency button. Another emergency button is located next to the light switch. Under the sink, there is a knee space that is 24 cm deep and 64 cm high.

The museum has an induction loop. We kindly ask you to inform the staff in advance if you wish to use it during the guided tour.

Strollers

It is not possible to tour inside the museum with strollers due to object safety. Strollers can be left in the yard or on the porch during the visit.

Guide Dogs

Guide dogs are allowed inside.

Albert Edelfelt’s studio is located in Haikko on Edelfelt’s Path in a beautiful rocky landscape. There are parking spaces in front of the studio that are not managed by the museum. The parking spaces are not clearly marked, and there is no designated parking space for people with disabilities. The parking area slopes.

The yard area is fenced. There are two gates leading to the entrance, which are kept closed but not locked. For drop-off traffic, the yard gate can be fully opened so that drop-off traffic can back up next to the ramp leading to the entrance. The gate leading to the ramp is marked with a wheelchair symbol.

A wooden ramp approximately 2300 cm long leads from the gate to Villa Albert. The ramp is 123 cm wide at its narrowest point and has a 15% incline. The ramp does not have handrails or edges. Using the ramp with a wheeled assistive device without assistance can be challenging due to the incline. The ramp is accessed at the bottom via a wooden board. The ramp leads to a terrace, from which you enter Villa Albert. On the terrace, there is a bench without backrests and armrests, which is 40 cm high.

On the other side of the terrace, there is a staircase with 10 steps. The staircase has handrails on both sides, but from the bottom, the right-hand rail ends before the top, and the left-hand rail ends before the bottom.

The exhibition space, museum shop, and restrooms are located in Villa Albert.

The doorway is 76 cm wide, but the double doors can be easily opened fully, providing a clear width of 154 cm, allowing easy access even with wide mobility aids. A 25 cm long ramp leads to the door. The threshold rises 4 cm above the ramp.

Inside the door, there are sturdy mats that do not pose a tripping or slipping hazard. The mats allow smooth movement with wheeled mobility aids.

The lobby and exhibition space have plenty of chairs and other seating options that are 45 cm high. The space is easy to navigate with wheeled mobility aids. The seating can be moved as needed, and when organizing events, it is important to ensure that there is a sufficiently wide passageway between movable furniture, at least 90 cm.

The service desk is 90 cm high, which is slightly higher than the recommended height for wheelchair users or short-statured individuals (75–80 cm). There is no knee space under the desk.

The coat rack is too high and difficult to reach for wheelchair users.

Sound carries well in the space, but it is echoey and there is no sound system or induction loop.

Restrooms

The corridor leading to the restrooms has a free width of 105 cm. The doors to the handwashing area and the accessible restroom are 91 cm wide. The handwashing area door has a 2 cm threshold, while the accessible restroom door has no threshold. The accessible restroom is not marked with a wheelchair symbol.

The toilet seat has armrests attached at a height of 66 cm. There is free space on one side of the seat. The restroom lights turn on automatically upon entering. Under the sink, there is free space that is 78 cm high and 11 cm deep.

Studio Museum

The path to the studio museum from Villa Albert is accessible via a path. There is a 7 cm level difference from the terrace to the path, which has been minimized with stones. The path surface is firm, similar to crushed stone, and can be navigated well with wheeled mobility aids. The path is 85 cm wide at its narrowest point. The path slopes slightly downhill, with a maximum gradient of 6%.

In front of the studio museum door, there is a 12.5 cm high step. The door is 76 cm wide and has a threshold that is 8 cm high on the outside and 5 cm high on the inside.

The interior of the studio museum contains various objects. There is a steep staircase leading to the loft. It is not possible to access the space with wheeled mobility aids, but one can get some idea of the small space by peeking in from the outside.

Guide dogs are allowed inside.

The Porvoo Museum is located in Old Porvoo in two different buildings, Holm House and the Old Town Hall, on the edge of The Old Town Hall Square. Old Town Hall Square is paved with cobblestones and slopes unevenly towards the river. There are paths made of square stones on the square, which make it slightly easier to navigate with wheeled mobility aids.

The museum buildings date back to the 18th century and do not have elevators.

Holm House has a step-free entrance via the back door from the inner courtyard, which can be accessed by drop-off traffic through a narrow gate if necessary.

The museum’s website provides clear and detailed descriptions of the entrances, stairs, and restrooms in Holm House for both buildings.

The accessible entrance is in the inner courtyard of Holm House, which is uneven and paved with cobblestones. There is no designated parking space in the courtyard; the nearest official parking space for people with disabilities is at Rihkamatori. Parking arrangements can be discussed with the museum staff.

Both sides of the back door open easily, allowing access even with wider mobility aids. The door has a wooden threshold worn to a rounded edge. From the entrance hall, a metal ramp leads to the museum shop. The ramp is 328 cm long and 106 cm wide. It has 3 cm edges to prevent the wheels of mobility aids from falling off the sides, and the ramp has a 12% gradient. There is no handrail on the ramp. The ramp is sturdy, and its surface material is non-slip. The ramp is marked with warning tape at the bottom.

At the time of the mapping, it was possible to move around the museum shop with a narrow manual wheelchair, but some of the passageways were partially cramped.

The entrance hall has storage lockers at different heights, making them easy to use for visitors with various mobility needs. The coat rack is too high for wheelchair users. The sturdy mats do not pose a tripping hazard. The entrance hall has backless seats that are 45 cm high. The seats have low armrests.

From the entrance hall, stairs with seven steps lead to the main door. The stairs do not have handrails. The stairs are stylishly lit from below the railing. The paint on the railing is worn in places where people have taken support from it while using the stairs.

Workshop and Exhibition Space

The workshop and exhibition space has tables and chairs with backrests and short armrests. It is easy to access the tables with a wheelchair.

Restrooms

Public restrooms are located in the basement of Holm House, accessed by 18 steep steps. The staircase has a handrail on one side.

There are five steps leading to the front door of the Old Town Hall. The steps have a handrail on only one side, which makes it difficult to enter if the visitor’s other hand is weaker.

The door has a threshold that is 10 cm high on the outside and 8 cm high on the inside. Both sides of the double doors can be opened if necessary.

In practice, wheeled mobility aids are rarely used to enter, but strollers can be brought in this way.

The entrance hall has a seat, coat rack, and storage lockers similar to those in Holm House.

The interior staircases have handrails in some sections, but they do not continue uniformly throughout the staircases. In most staircases, the handrail is only on one side, which makes it difficult to navigate the steep and worn steps, especially when visitors are passing each other.

The building has numerous thresholds, staircases, and low doorways that pose tripping and collision risks. Some of the floor surfaces are sloped.

The exhibition spaces have chairs where visitors can rest.

Carriage Shed

There are stairs with seven steps leading from the entrance hall to the carriage shed. The stairs have a handrail on one side, and there is a backless chair at the top of the stairs.

At the time of the mapping, there was an exhibition in the carriage shed with partially cramped passageways.

Guide dogs, assistance dogs, hearing dogs, and hypoallergenic dogs are welcome in the museum to assist their owners during the visit.

The cathedral is located in Old Porvoo, in an area where the streets are uneven and paved with cobblestones. In the fenced churchyard, there are paths made of square stones, which are somewhat easier to navigate with wheeled mobility aids compared to cobblestones.

Parking in the yard is prohibited. However, drop-off traffic can drive through the gate into the yard near the entrance.

The website features a virtual tour of the church and its yard. The tour allows you to familiarize yourself with the destination in advance and assess whether you can move around independently or need an assistant. The virtual tour also offers the opportunity to explore the church remotely.

There are two parking spaces for people with disabilities next to the gate on the east side of the church, marked with a traffic sign. The width of the parking spaces cannot be assessed because they are not painted on the street stones. The spaces are bordered on one side by a wall, making it easier for passengers or drivers using mobility aids to exit the car from the street side.

A path made of square stones leads from the parking spaces through the gate to the southern entrance, which is step-free. Along the path, there is a bench that is 43 cm high, without armrests or a backrest.

The accessibility survey has examined the southern entrance, which provides step-free access to the church. The main entrance on the west side of the church has a step outside without a handrail. Inside the main entrance, there are three steps without a handrail.

The stone threshold of the southern entrance is beveled with wooden boards, which are partially worn. The door can be easily opened fully, allowing access even with wide mobility aids.

The floor of the entrance hall has sturdy mats to collect moisture and prevent slipping. The pathway leading to the church hall has a 2 cm height difference and a threshold that is 1 cm high on the outside and 4 cm high on the inside.

Church Hall

The pathways in the church hall are wide, making it easy to move around with a wheeled aid. There are two 12 cm high steps leading to the altar. The steps do not have a handrail. On the left side of the altar, as seen from the church hall, there is a ramp that is 113 cm wide and 135 cm long, with a slope of 20%. The ramp has a sturdy metal handrail that is 90 cm high.

Visitors using wheeled aids do not have an official designated place in the church hall, but wheelchair users usually position themselves at the front right of the church.

The church benches are 45 cm high, and there are also loose chairs in the church hall, which are 43 cm and 47 cm high.

The church does not have public restrooms, and the public usually does not have access to the sacristy or the church balcony.

The West Bank Art Route is located on the west bank of the Porvoo River. Most of the artworks are situated around the Art Factory. The artworks are numbered, but you can start the route from any point.

You can explore the route by walking, cycling, or using a wheeled aid. Many points along the route are accessible by car, and there are public transport stops along the way.

The Art Factory has several artworks from the route and can serve as a good starting point for those using wheeled aids. There are accessible parking spaces in the Art Factory’s yard and an accessible restroom in the lobby, available during the Art Factory’s opening hours.

The route includes various artworks, most of which represent visual art. There is one sound artwork, but the route is not very accessible for those who are visually impaired.

The front of the route map reads “Explore contemporary art by walking!” However, you can move along the route in other ways besides walking. The route map includes descriptions of the route and artworks, as well as a map showing the locations of the artworks. Almost all the artworks were easy to locate based on the map.

The route features various surface materials such as asphalt, gravel, and paving stones. Most of the route is suitable for moving with a wheeled aid, but during the survey, asphalt damage and soft sand were encountered in some places. In some intersections along the route, you have to cross curbs.

The route can be described as a challenging accessible route. Assistance may be needed for moving with a wheeled aid, especially if there are roadworks in the area.

There are plenty of different seating options along the route, some with backrests. The height of the seats varies between 43–48 cm.

During winter, moving along the route is more challenging and depends entirely on the maintenance of the pathways.

1 Anssi Pulkkinen & Taneli Rautiainen: Still life

The artwork is usually easily accessible, but during the survey, there was construction work at the Art Factory, which made moving around the area difficult.

2. Corinna Helenelund: Point

The artwork is easily accessible from the street, but the stairs descending from the parking lot lack a handrail.

3. Kirsi Kaulanen & Aaron Heino: Aistikas

The artwork is essentially easily accessible, but special caution should be exercised when moving on and between the roadways.

4. Tommi Toija: King of the hill & A little paradise

The sidewalk leading to the artwork on the west side (King of the hill) is quite narrow, at its narrowest point being 66 cm. The area around the artwork has uneven paving. The artwork on the east side (A little paradise) is fairly easily accessible via a gravel-covered pedestrian pathway.

5. Ylva Holländer & Kirsi Kaulanen: State Day triptych

The artwork is easily accessible, especially when approaching from the river. The area around the artwork has slightly uneven paving, but it is still navigable with most aids.

6. Petri Hytönen: Color party

The artwork is easily accessible.

7. Kislow & Kreemos: Twice

The multi-part artwork is mostly easily accessible. Curbs may make it difficult to get very close to the artwork, but it is well-suited for viewing from a distance.

8. Åsa Maria Bengtsson: Magic Stroke

The artwork is essentially easily accessible. The sidewalk slopes about 4% at the artwork’s location, so when moving with a wheeled aid or bicycle, attention may be focused on steering rather than the artwork.

9. Marko Vuokola: Green Flash

10. Kirsti Taiviola: Loisto

The artworks were difficult to find. The site was visited during daylight and at night, but during the mapping, it remained unclear when they would be visible and whether they were functioning at all.

11. Astrid Sylwan: Delphi

The artwork is essentially easily accessible, but the courtyard slopes about 5% at the artwork’s location.

12. Sari Palosaari: Draft

The artwork is essentially easily accessible. However, the ramp leading to the entrance, through which one could get a closer look at the artwork, was partially sandy and narrowed by vegetation during the survey.

13. Arja Kärkkäinen: By shift number

The artwork is essentially easily accessible, but during the survey, there were asphalt damages in the area that made it difficult to move towards the artwork. The pedestrian pathway leading to the artwork from the river slopes about 5%.

15. Paula Salmela: Flow

The pathway leading to the artwork has a slope of 7–12%. During the survey, there were significant asphalt damages that made movement considerably difficult. The artwork is located farther from the other artworks at the end of a gravel-covered pedestrian pathway. The slope of the pathway is up to 4%.

16. Maj-Britt Huovila & Laura Lyyti: Kummeli

The area around the artwork has gravel, which had grown grass during the survey, making movement difficult. In rainy weather, puddles can form next to the artwork. An uneven and difficult-to-navigate path has formed from the nearby parking lot to the artwork.

17. Nelli Nio: Floraison

The artwork is easily accessible from the west, where the alley is relatively flat. When approaching from the east, the alley has a slope of up to 8%.

Taidetehdas is conveniently located with good transport connections: it is easy to reach via pedestrian and cycling routes as well as by car. There is also a bus stop right next to the building.

The website provides arrival instructions to Taidetehdas in Finnish, Swedish, and English.

There are accessible parking spaces in two locations within the parking garage. This assessment focused on the spaces next to the door leading to Taidetehdas, which are signposted from other accessible spots.

Upon entering the garage, a sign with a wheelchair symbol directs drivers to the accessible spaces. Lighting at these spaces is dim, especially at the one furthest from the door. The parking spaces are narrow: 2,450 mm wide and approximately 4,730 mm long (angled).

Parking is free for two hours. Registration is required at a machine, with the top buttons at a height of 1,270 mm—usable from a wheelchair.

The door from the garage to the elevator opens with a push button when entering and with a motion sensor when returning. The door remains open for 25 seconds, is 900 mm wide, and has no threshold.

Aleksanterintori Entrance
This entrance is clearly distinguishable from its surroundings. Automatic doors with motion sensors are easy to use and respond to users of different heights, including those in wheelchairs. There is no significant threshold, and wheelchairs move smoothly over the entrance mat.

Läntinen Aleksanterinkatu Entrance
The automatic doors function similarly to those at Aleksanterintori. The flooring is the same at both entrances. Outside the Western Aleksanterinkatu doors is a 2,780 mm wide asphalt platform ending in a 100 mm high curb.

The curb separates the entrance from the pedestrian route. The platform has sloped ends, allowing step-free access.

Kauppakuja Entrance
The elevator is right next to this entrance, but the entrance is not fully accessible. There is a concrete threshold in front of the door, partially broken, with a maximum height of about 24 mm.

There is a gap of up to 60 mm between the entrance mat and the threshold. The door has push buttons on both sides and stays open for 25 seconds. The doorway is 860 mm wide.

The lobby floor is non-reflective and non-slip. Lighting is even. A tactile guidance strip for the visually impaired runs through the lobby and foyer.

The stairs to the restaurant’s WC have a designated attention area with contrast tape and tactile markers.

From the main lobby, the foyer on the first floor is accessible via a ramp with a 5% incline, handrail, and guardrail (with a gap). Alternatively, there are three steps with yellow contrast markings.

Most signs use a clear sans-serif font with sufficient contrast between text and background. The material is matte. Font sizes vary, with uppercase letters at least 50 mm tall.

Symbols and braille are also used. WC signs are correctly placed next to the door on the opening side and are readable from a wheelchair.

A tactile map of Taidetehdas is available in the lobby, with text in Finnish, Swedish, English, and braille.

Various maps are located near entrances. Vestibules at Aleksanterintori and Western Aleksanterinkatu entrances have maps showing entrances, elevators, and stairs.

Outside the Kauppakuja entrance is a more detailed map showing specific rooms and their functions. A similar map is located near the drop-off parking area. Outdoor maps are not illuminated.

Floor directories are located near and inside the elevator.

The double doors are always fully open during opening hours. There are no thresholds or additional doors. The floor is flat, non-reflective, and non-slip.

The exhibition catalog and guestbook are on a 710 mm high table with legroom for wheelchair users.

There is a backless bench (450 mm high) and a soft chair with backrest (430 mm high) in the Jäntti collection.

The Konsta space may be difficult to navigate with large mobility aids due to shelves and tables, but the exhibition areas have ample floor space.

Located outside the Art Hall, open during Taidetehdas opening hours.

The exhibition space consists of the second-floor lobby walls. It is fully accessible and easy to navigate with wheeled aids. Accessible via elevator or stairs.

There is a 450 mm high backless bench next to a railing and a 430 mm high table with a guestbook and brochures.

Lighting in the second-floor lobby is uneven but sufficient in the gallery area.

A step-free route leads from the second-floor lobby to the Studio, which includes two classrooms (music and visual arts). Only the route was assessed.

A floor marking labeled “Studio” continues with diamond shapes leading to the Studio. No tactile markings for the visually impaired, but good contrast.

The first ramp section is 5% inclined, 2,650 mm wide, with smooth, non-reflective surface and handrails on both sides.

Glass railings have metal supports for contrast. The ramp overlooks the ground floor foyer.

At the end is a door kept open during the day (860 mm wide). The ramp turns 90° and continues at 1,630 mm width with 8% incline, a landing, and handrails. A stroller space is marked on the floor.

The corridor continues with furniture. Wide sofas reduce the usable width to 960 mm. The route turns, but floor markings remain clear.

At the end is a heavy manually operated door requiring about 50 newtons of force, with a 22 mm threshold. Another door with a threshold leads into the Studio. Outside is a stair landing with stairs right next to the heavy door.

The entrance to Pensselitehdas is located in the building’s inner courtyard, which can be accessed by drop-off traffic from the street. There are several large signs in the courtyard clearly marked “Pensselitehdas.” The sign at the entrance is illuminated. The dark door stands out clearly against the light-colored wall. The courtyard surface is partly asphalt, partly gravel or sand. The edge of the asphalt is damaged in some places.

The outer door has a threshold that is 6–7 cm high and partially damaged. A partially broken concrete slab leads to the threshold and slopes down toward the yard. The slab is covered with loose gravel and stones.

The door closes with a spring and cannot be held open without assistance. It is 88 cm wide, and the second leaf can also be opened easily. When both sides are open, the total width is 135 cm.

To reach the main hall, visitors pass through two foyer areas. Between them is a 121 cm wide door that is kept open during events. The door has no threshold. The first foyer has rugs.

In the second foyer, there are large, clear signs marked “Exit” and “WC.” From here, one enters the hall, which features a high ticket counter, coat storage, and many chairs stacked along the wall.

The coat rack has two levels, at 183 cm and 157 cm in height. The rack is relatively high for wheelchair users, children, or short-statured individuals.

The flooring in the foyer and hall is even and does not feel slippery when dry.

The toilets are located in the first foyer, close to the entrance. One of the WC doors is 90 cm wide. The door is light to open and has no threshold. There is no horizontal pull handle.

The WC is quite cramped for users with wheeled mobility aids, with approximately 90 x 100 cm of free space. There is one support rail next to the toilet seat at 65 cm height, and one grab bar on the wall.

There is no legroom under the sink. The light switch is at a height of 140 cm. The bidet shower is located near the toilet seat and can be used while seated. There is no emergency alarm system in the WC.

The hall is minimally furnished and can be adapted for various events. At the front of the space, there is a 40 cm high stage.

The suitability of the space for visually or hearing-impaired individuals depends entirely on the nature of the event. By default, there are no glaring lights or echo, but music events may naturally involve strong lighting and sound. There is no induction loop in the space.

There are loose chairs in the hall that can be made available to visitors as needed.

The hall has two emergency exits. One of the emergency exit doors has a 60 cm wide portable ramp leading to a 3 cm high threshold. Outside, the threshold is 9 cm high with a 19 cm high step in front of it.

The stage is accessed via a small backstage room. From the backstage area, a lightweight two-part platform leads to the stage, with a height difference of 21 cm. From the platform to the stage, there is an additional 19 cm step. The black platform does not contrast with the dark edge of the stage, posing a tripping and falling hazard. There are no handrails on the steps.

The door to the backstage area is 80 cm wide and easy to open. The room contains various seating options for performers.
