York's National Railway Museum exhibition looks at rail travel and disability

The exhibition features many accessible features

A new exhibition explores rail travel and disability at the National Railway Museum (NRM) in York.

Go As You Please includes "authentic stories" about disability alongside 20th Century railway art, the NRM said.

It is part of Curating for Change, an England-wide programme which aims to challenge the underrepresentation of disabled museum professionals.

The show also includes accessible features some of which are being used at the museum for the first time.

It features objects from the NRM's collection and it also includes a specially commissioned work Shifting Landscapes by neurodivergent artist Hayley Wall.

The exhibition aims to open conversations on travelling with disability

Amy Thraves-Connor, curating for change fellow at the NRM, said she hopes visitors will "engage with stories they otherwise might not have thought relevant to them".

"The unexpected narrative explores the experience of travel and destination from a range of often overlooked perspectives," she said.

"I want visitors to the exhibition to make their own interpretations and memories from these artworks and feel encouraged to question their thoughts around disability."The exhibition will include many accessible features such as QR codes that lead to an audio descriptive tour, portable object labels and a British Sign Language (BSL) exhibition overview.

The exhibition runs until June.
