Toilets

Accessibility at the Museum

There are toilets on the Lower Ground Floor at the front of the Museum on both sides (north and south). These include standard male and female toilets and accessible toilets. We recommend using the toilets at the south end of the building because they are more spacious, and include baby change facilities. The building also has gender-neutral toilets; please see below for more information or view the access map.

South Accessible Toilet

There is a large, accessible toilet on the Lower Ground Floor located near the accessible entrance of the building (South end). Some people might find the lock a bit fiddly to use. The toilet is left-hand transfer.

There is another toilet suitable for people with ambulant disabilities on Lower Ground Floor at the North of the building. From inside the building, this can only be accessed via stairs or the stair lift. The toilet is right-hand transfer.

Annexe Accessible Toilet

There is a wheelchair accessible toilet in the Museum annexe. The annexe is not generally open to the public but is used by school groups, workshops, and similar.

Gender-Neutral Toilets

The Museum of Natural History has a gender-neutral toilet that is also suitable for people with ambulant disabilities. This can be found on the Lower Ground Floor at the North end of the building.

There is also a gender-neutral toilet in the adjoining Pitt Rivers Museum. Please ask a member of staff if you would like help finding this.
