The Pietro Canonica Museum is a House Museum. In addition to the exhibition rooms, therefore, the artist’s private apartment and atelier are also part of the tour. The Museum is located in a seventeenth-century building in Villa Borghese, and as a result there are some architectural barriers that are currently difficult to remove. The enjoyment of the cultural heritage is facilitated, however, by some aids (stair lifts and platforms) that, combined with the availability of the custodial staff, make the ground floor, with all the exhibition rooms and a good part of the private apartment, visitable.
Although the museum does not currently have adequate toilets, it does have a bathroom on the ground floor large enough to fit a wheelchair.
A wheelchair is available inside the museum for those with walking difficulties upon request.
The Pietro Canonica Museum provides the blind and visually impaired public with a small publication, where La Fortezzuola, the historic 17th-century building that houses the museum, is described in Braille language.
Since 2016, routes and descriptive cards have been created to support and prepare for guided tactile tours. It is possible to discover the works and routes that are the subject of tactile tours organized periodically at the museum by specialized staff.
The Pietro Canonica Museum has produced two LIS videos describing the museum and the Villa Borghese sculpture depository, both installed at the museum entrance and also available online.
