How accessible is the offer (conformity status)?
This website is only partially accessible. It only partially meets the requirements of BITV 2.0. The website is currently being revised according to the applicable requirements. We are working on the necessary processes to continuously improve the Ruhr Museum s information in terms of digital accessibility.
Which areas are not accessible?
Downloads/PDFs: Currently, PDFs are not yet fully designed for barrier-free use. We are working on this step by step. PDFs and other downloads may still be made available without an alternative description (alt text).
Videos: Videos are not subtitled and are currently mostly still available without audio description or full text alternative.
Newsletters: Barriers can occur in the display in e-mail programmes depending on the e-mail programme used. However, the browser version of the newsletter has been optimised with regard to accessibility.
Forms: We use captchas in some forms to prevent spam. These comply with the minimum requirements of the BITV, but unfortunately cannot be completely barrier-free.
Alternative texts: The alternative texts for graphics and objects on the website are gradually being revised in accordance with the accessibility guidelines, but may not yet be available everywhere.
Map services: The maps on the website integrated via the Google Maps service are not sufficiently provided with alternative texts.
Easy language: The contents according to § 4, BITV 2.0 are not yet available in easy language.
Sign language: The content according to § 4, BITV 2.0 is not yet available in German sign language.
