The Carlos Machado Museum aims at being an Open and Inclusive Museum and as such, accessible to anyone who wants to visit it. Aware that there are several ways to experience the world around us, the Museum has been adopting several strategies that make it physically and intellectually more accessible.

The three centers of the Carlos Machado Museum are accessible to people with reduced mobility, as they are equipped with elevators in the Santo André and Santa Bárbara Centers, as well as access ramps, with the exception of the temporary exhibition rooms on the first floor of the Sacred Art Center.

Through the Educational Service Axis Program, several partnerships have been developed with associations and entities that work with publics with specific needs, in order to design visits and activities that meet the needs of each person. We have been working with ACAPO (Association of the Blind and partially sighted of Portugal), ALZA (Alzheimer's Association of the Azores), APPDA (Portuguese Association for Developmental Disorders and Autism) and APCSM (Association of Cerebral Palsy of São Miguel), among others.

The Mobile Museum and From Fenais to Fenais project enhance the idea of the Carlos Machado Museum as a Territory Museum and takes its field of action outside the physical walls of the Museum, developing continuous work throughout the island of São Miguel, in particular - through the From Fenais to Fenais Project - in the parishes on the north coast. The purpose is to involve communities that are geographically remote from the Museum, exploring their local heritage.
