Museums are often regarded as temples for the elite. Breaking through the visible and invisible barriers between the museum and its audience to include visitors from different backgrounds and of different ages and socioeconomic classes is one of the main targets of museums nowadays. Recently, more and more museums have been working with different institutions to explore the therapeutic potential of objects and provide services to the disabled through educational programs and exhibitions. This approach not only develops and enlarges the target audience, but also transforms the social role of museums. How do museums respond to the needs and cultural rights of disabled visitors? What are the strategies and programs employed by museums in the U.K. and Taiwan? These are the research questions that are explored in this paper. The authors first investigate how the laws of the U.K. and Taiwan influence museum practices. Then, the services provided to the disabled by the British Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum in the U.K. and the National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan are explored using interview data and literature review. The practices of these museums in the U.K. and Taiwan and the difficulties they encounter are analyzed, and suggestions for implementation of strategies and practices are provided in the conclusion.
