Hello,

I am part of a design team working on exhibits for a historic house and could use some sage advice.

We are wondering how institutions have previously handled accessibility issues for upper levels of a historic house museum with limited accessibility (e.g. very small, unreliable elevator) and lacking a fire escape. 

Is there any literature on this in the historic home exhibition field? Are there any best practices or rules of thumb beyond following local fire code? 

Thank you for any advice or resources you can provide.

Sincerely,
Hope McDermott
