Enjoy a quieter museum experience during our Relaxed Mornings. These sensory-friendly sessions are designed for people with disability, neurodivergent visitors and anyone who prefers a calmer environment.
With reduced sound levels, adjusted lighting, early access and fewer crowds, visitors can explore the museum's galleries and exhibitions at their own pace.
These sessions support visitors who are neurodivergent, live with disability, dementia, chronic illness, sensory sensitivities or just prefer a quieter experience. All ages are welcome.
Relaxed Mornings feature:
- 1-hour exclusive access to the Museum before regular opening hours (Museum will open at 9.30am)
- Reduced crowds
- Where possible, loud sounds from audiovisual displays, interactives and films will be reduced or they will be completely switched off
- High contrast lighting will be softened
- A designated quiet area for breaks with bean bags and a selection of toys and books for families
- Sensory map to assist with navigation of the exhibition
- Sensory backpacks are available at the Welcome Desk for participants to borrow to enhance their visit
