Accessibility Statement

MuseumsMexico is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all of our users.

We strive to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities.

Our Accessibility Features Include:

• Keyboard navigation support throughout the website
• Screen reader compatibility with proper ARIA labels and semantic HTML
• High contrast color schemes meeting WCAG AA standards for better visibility
• Scalable text that can be enlarged up to 200% without loss of functionality
• Alternative text for all images and visual content
• Clear and consistent navigation structure with skip links
• Descriptive page titles and proper heading hierarchy
• Form labels and error messages that are accessible to screen readers
• Focus indicators for keyboard navigation
• Live regions for dynamic content updates

We provide accessibility information for museums in our database when available, including:

• Wheelchair accessibility status
• Accessible parking availability
• Audio guides and visual aids
• Accessible restroom facilities
• Sign language interpretation services
• Tactile exhibits and tours
• Braille materials and large print guides

We encourage users to contact museums directly for the most up-to-date accessibility information before visiting.

Our website is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies, including:

• Screen readers (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, ORCA)
• Voice recognition software (Dragon NaturallySpeaking)
• Keyboard-only navigation
• Switch navigation devices
• Magnification software (ZoomText, MAGic)
• High contrast and dark mode support
• Browser zoom up to 400%

We regularly test our website for accessibility compliance using:

• Automated accessibility testing tools
• Manual keyboard navigation testing
• Screen reader testing with multiple tools
• Color contrast analysis
• User testing with people with disabilities

Our accessibility efforts are guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and Section 508 standards.

While we strive for full accessibility, we acknowledge some current limitations:

• Some third-party map features may have limited accessibility (we provide alternative text descriptions)
• Complex route visualizations include alternative text descriptions and keyboard navigation
• Some museum images may lack detailed alternative text (we are continuously improving this)
• Interactive maps require JavaScript but provide fallback content

We are actively working to address these limitations in future updates and welcome feedback on priority areas.

We welcome your feedback on the accessibility of MuseumsMexico. Please let us know if you encounter accessibility barriers:

We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within 5 business days and will work with you to provide the information or functionality you seek through an alternative communication method.
