We are working hard to make our events accessible for our guests. However, we are currently unable to guarantee accessibility in all of our events.

You can find a map of the locations on the info page. Accessibility information on the event locations is compiled below:

The Sibelius Museum

  • The ground level, where the ABOAGORA sessions take place, is accessible. There are small stairs as well as a ramp slope to the concert hall, where the sessions take place.
  • The ground floor is accessible when moving with wheelchair, rollator or a stick. You can access the building also with a perambulator. Guide and assistance dogs are welcome in the museum.

Luostarin Välikatu

  • Luostarin Välikatu is a relatively narrow alleyway, which is paved with cobblestone. Unfortunately, the location is not accessible when moving with wheelchair or rollator. The event takes place outdoors.
  • For viewing the virtual monument you need a smart telephone and headphones.
  • The virtual monument is placed outdoors on a grassy, rather steep hill and viewing the installation requires the viewer to stand next to the virtual monument. Unfortunately, the location is not accessible when moving with wheelchair or rollator.
