Accessibility

Visitors with reduced mobility

Parking spaces are reserved for visitors with reduced mobility within the site. 
Admission is free for persons with reduced mobility and their companions.

The caregiver benefits from free admission only if this is indicated on the disability card or on any other official document.

Access to the main fountain offers an overview of some of the major sculptures in the Tarot Garden. This area is accessible and wheelchair-friendly.

The Tarot Garden is a complex garden, created by an artist between 1978 and 1998, without an architect, designed with complete freedom, without safety or accessibility standards. As a result, it features stairs to access the various sculptures. Its status as a work of art prevents any modifications from being made.

Consequently, we are unable to offer tours of the entire site to visitors with reduced mobility. However, we do provide a stair lift (Sherpa N900) free of charge, as well as an attendant trained in its use, which allows access to certain works in the upper part of the garden.

Reservations for the stair lift are required and can be made at reservation@ilgiardinodeitarocchi.it, subject to availability.

Museum Boutique

Niki de Saint Phalle quickly understood that editions, series, jewelry, prints, and a whole range of mass‑produced objects could provide her with financial independence. This allowed the artist to continue being her own patron and to fund various projects, including the construction of the Tarot Garden.

The Tarot Garden Foundation is the official producer and retailer of merchandise derived from Saint Phalle’s work. The Foundation continues production in the tradition and respect of the artist’s work.

To this day, all income from the online shop and the museum boutique is dedicated to supporting the Tarot Garden and safeguarding its preservation.
