Bad wheelchair access and signage

Signage for access was bad and even finding the way into building was a task. Once inside I had to fathom how to reach the gallery, signage was terrible. The answer? Through the cafe, which has the heaviest door known to man. Not possible to open from a wheelchair. Signs inside the building for finding the galleries with a step free path are non existent. As a result I realised when I got home I missed an entire exhibition. For everyone else there is a bridge to the Henry Moore Foundation, if you need step free access you must go outside, round the corner and locate a plain wooden door that's that doesn't look like an entrance for visitors and press a button for entry. A map showing step free routes would have been very helpful and saved a lot of faffing about. The cafe you must pass through is very narrow and especially difficult when busy.
