I agree with the other reviewer. Most of the stuff is on one floor and seemed pretty accessible with a lot of open space once in the building itself. I think that the displays are low enough to see things but some did require standing up and looking over the displays. You might look it up on the web site or inquire. The only issue might be getting to the building. We had to walk up some stairs and go through a narrow security building on the way to the actual museum. I suspect that they have means of accommodating wheel chairs but it might require a search for entry.
