The National Justice Museum worked with Rainbow Parents, Carers, and Young People to co-produce a film to create virtual access to areas of the museum which have been identified as challenging spaces for visitors with reduced mobility, autism, and claustrophobia. These areas are the Women’s Laundry and Exercise Yard, the Debtors prison, the Dungeons (with oubliette).
The film was produced as part of the National Justice Museum's Heritage Lottery Fund project.
