The declaration of accessibility applies to the website of the National Museum in Gdańsk.

Date of last major update: 2019-09-23

The website is partially compliant with the Act of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public entities due to the following exclusions: no contact form, no maps, some of the video materials were produced and uploaded before the Act on digital accessibility became law.

The Declaration was drawn up on: 2019-09-23
The Declaration was drawn up on the basis of a self-assessment by the public entity: the National Museum in Gdańsk.

If you have problems with website accessibility, please contact us. The contact person is Adam Jurek, kierownik Działu Marketingu National Museum in Gdańsk, e-mail: a.jurek[at]mng.gda.pl. You may also contact us by calling +48 58 301 70 61 ext. 209, 224. Requests for information which is not available or requests for ensuring availability may be submitted the same way.

Anyone may request that a website, mobile application or any element thereof be made digitally accessible. You can also request information to be made available through an alternative means of access, for example, by reading a digitally unavailable document, describing the content of a film lacking an audio description etc. The request should include the identity of the person making the request, an indication of which website or mobile application the request pertains to and the contact method. If the person making the request requests information by means of an alternative means of access, he should also specify a way of presenting the information that is convenient for them. The public entity should comply with the request as soon as possible and at the latest within 7 days from the date of the request. If this deadline cannot be met, the public entity shall immediately inform the person making the request when it will be possible to meet the request, which shall not be longer than 2 months from the date of the request. Where digital accessibility cannot be provided, the public entity may propose an alternative means of accessing the information. Where the public entity refuses to comply with an accessibility request or to provide an alternative means of accessing information, the requesting entity may complain about the lack of digital accessibility of a website, a mobile application or an element of a website or mobile application. Once the above procedure has been exhausted, a request may also be made to the Ombudsman.
