Accessibility

The Space aspires to be accessible to everyone and the site has been coded to W3C standards. However, it is an experimental service so there are some caveats:

- It is recommended that you ensure your browser has been updated to a recent version as compatibility with older browsers has not been tested

- The Space is not responsible for the artworks it presents and it is likely that not all artworks will be fully accessible

There are a number of ways computer users can adjust their browser settings to make the most of the internet whatever their ability or disability.
