Tilgængelighed
Museet er mindre egnet for gangbesværede, da Davids Samling har til huse i en fredet bygning med mange trapper.

På grund af museets udformning og beliggenhed i to fredede bygninger med mange, smalle trapper er det desværre ikke muligt at tage en kørestol eller rollator med i samlingerne.

I tilfælde af brand er det ikke muligt at benytte elevatoren, og museet råder ikke over medarbejdere, der kan hjælpe gangbesværede i tilfælde af en eventuel evakuering.
