Web accessibility

“Web accessibility” refers to the ability to access a Web site and its content by as many people as possible, no matter what their navigation context or physical disabilities.

By “navigation context” we mean devices, browsers, Internet connection speed, browser or computer configuration, environmental conditions, etc.

Disabilities are understood to be visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has developed a website that prioritises the accessibility of its content, in compliance with the Accessibility Guidelines set out by the WAI Working Group (Web Accessibility Initiative, www.w3.org/wai), which is a member of W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).

Using the Web standards established by this organization W3C permits correct viewing of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao Web site on different devices and platforms and the appropriate printing out of its content.
