This third entrance can be accessed by disabled visitors and visitors with buggies.

- The location of the lifts is highlighted on the Museum map, available on the website. Museum lifts, which only serve the wing in which they are located, are accessible to wheelchairs. On the first floor, it is not possible to go to the other wing unless you take the stairs, therefore it is necessary to go back to the ground floor and get the other lift. On the second floor, it is possible to go the other wing crossing the Great Hall of the Sundial.

- Assistant animals, for certified medical reasons, can enter the premises of the Museum, as long as they're working and are wearing their tabards/harness. Companion animals can enter only if they are small and they fit in a bag or in the arms.
