An elevator car (6) comprises a ceiling (12) and two bars (18a, 18b) extending parallel to and spaced apart from each other along the ceiling (12), wherein each of the bars (18a, 18b) comprises a first opening (22a, 22b) and a second opening (24a, 24b). The elevator car (6) further comprises a ceiling panel (20) with two protrusions (26a, 26b) extending from opposite sides of the ceiling panel (20) and configured such as to be received within the first openings (22a, 22b) of the bars (18a, 18b), thereby allowing for a pivoting motion of the ceiling panel (20) around an axis extending between the two protrusions (26a, 26b); and at least one locking mechanism (28), which is switchable between a locked state and an unlocked state. In its locked state, the at least one locking mechanism (28) engages with one of the second openings (24a, 24b) for locking the ceiling panel (20) to at least one of the bars (18a, 18b) when the ceiling panel (20) is pivoted into an operating position in which the ceiling panel (20) extends parallel to the bars (18a, 18b). In its unlocked state, the at least one locking mechanism (28) allows the ceiling panel (20) to pivot from the operating position to a maintenance position in which the ceiling panel (20) is inclined with respect to the bars (18a, 18b).
