Planning a group visit

In keeping with its aim of being accessible to everyone, the Musée du Louvre-Lens has developed a policy of welcoming disabled visitors by forming partnerships with regional organisations.

Assistance from the museum is precisely tailored to each group visit, which is planned in collaboration with the staff and users of these organisations.
