Modern Two - Cluttered gift shop makes access a nightmare

This review is especially helpful for those who have or use the following: Powerchair

Overview

To access ticket desk/cafe you must make your way through cluttered (and often busy) gift shop meaning there is little room to manoeuvre which is a pain. There are heavy glass doors between rooms.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

The call button for the elevator from the gift shop was tucked behind a shop display making it completely inaccessible. Please sort it out!

Venue Manager responded to this review

Thank you for the review of your visit to Modern Two and for highlighting the access issues you faced during your visit. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience you experienced and be assured that we have taken your points on board and have addressed them. The lift controls are now no longer obscured and the pathways around the shop will be kept as clear as possible to ensure access is maintained. With regard to the heavy glass doors on the first floor, there should always be a member of staff nearby to assist in opening them. Many thanks again for bringing these issues to our attention.
