I had a question on ADA requirements for exhibits. We are having conversation on the issue of wheelchairs and that the "exhibit can be seen from viewing sightings of 43 in. to 51 in. high from the floor." (p 5 of 39 ADMS, PNNEW INDEX). Does that mean that we can only have 8 in. of panel on the wall, or that the panel must fit within that area off the floor, or it could mean the panel can be anywhere from 0 in. to 51 in's from the floor? I have seen no museums are using only an 8 inch section of panel (43 to 51 in. from the floor) for their exhibit/labels, or have their entire panels/exhibit BELOW 51 inches. Sitting in a chair near the panels it is readable, but we were thinking there are more people who are 5 feet 5 or taller who would have a very difficult time looking down at something 43 inches, especially if trying to read the text. How does your museum comply with ADA requirements with this issue?
