Abstract
For many people, social media is an integral part of everyday life that can lead to a greater sense of social inclusion. This article examines social media's impact on social inclusion regarding art museum disability access. This qualitative study explores ways people with disabilities interact socially and culturally using social media and how it impacts their perception of being socially included. Data were collected from individuals with varying types of disabilities regarding their use of social media. Results show that social media can have a positive effect on people with disabilities regarding social inclusion. This research also discusses how art museums can use social media to better connect and socially include people with disabilities.
