Digital Accessibility Statement

Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH | Lange Nacht der Museen strives to make its web presence barrier-free. The digital accessibility declaration is required by the Berlin Accessible Information and Communication Technology Act (BIKTG Bln). The technical requirements for accessibility result from the BITV 2.0. This declaration on digital accessibility applies to the website langenachtdermuseen.berlin

When was the accessibility statement created?

This declaration was created or revised on 11. Juni 2024. The technical accessibility check has not yet been carried out, as the website is still under construction.

How accessible is the website?

The website is largely compatible with the requirements of BITV 2.0. We are endeavouring to continuously reduce remaining barriers and to eliminate them as far as possible.

Disproportionate burden

Subareas that are not designed to be barrier-free, as it would be a disproportionate burden. (BIKTG Bln §4 paragraph 3)

Subsection: 9.1.1.1b Alternative texts for graphics and object (external content)

Description: A large proportion of the non-linked graphics and images obtained from external sources are not provided with alternative texts. This primarily concerns graphics and images of exhibitions and events of the museums.

Explanation of why there is disproportionate burden: The Long Night of Museums obtains external data on exhibitions and events from external sources: Data is automatically imported via the interface of the Kulturprojekte database (www.datenhub.kulturprojekte.berlin), which is entered independently by the editors of the 70 or so participating museums. It is not feasible for the editors of the Long Night of Museums to carry out editorial checks on these very large amounts of data, which would place a disproportionate burden on them. The editors of the Long Night of Museums continue to advise the participating institutions of the need to provide alternative texts for graphics and objects.
