Enjoy a comfortable environment for kids and adults with a variety of sensory differences.
On Sensory-Friendly Days our new exhibitions and activity areas will be open extra early for a quieter experience and modified to suit people on the Autism spectrum and visitors with a range of differing abilities.
Our trained staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist with access and facilitate creative activities. Sensory Friendly sessions also include exclusive before or after hours access to a museum vessel (see program below for details).
