Curiosum is a historic building without a lift. The ground floor is fully accessible to wheelchair users via a ramp at an alternative entrance on Zamanstraat. The first floor can be reached via the adjoining building, accompanied by our museum staff. In this way, we aim to allow everyone to experience the whole house. If you need extra assistance or use a wheelchair, please don't hesitate to contact us at map@sint-niklaas.be or by phone on +32 3 778 34 50.
PLEASE NOTE: The upper floor of Curiosum cannot be visited with an electric wheelchair.
