Boo hoo on the MFA. I have enjoyed my time there in person (fyi, the Isabella Gardner claims to be wheelchair accessible but the doorways have 1/8 inch clearances).
I have to admit I'm getting cynical about access efforts, having watched them ebb and flow in institutions, education, and government for 25 years. As always, the key are people who are invested in it, who enjoy the challenge — either because they share the experience of being designed out, or because they're just randomly awesome.
I think I can supply beads to that specification. I just happened to be next to a card of of five different textures all cream/ivory — good for drawing boundaries, yes? — headed your way real soon now.
