About this event
During this hour, lighting in the galleries will be softened and audio-visual effects will be reduced where possible. Please note that, in any galleries where this is not possible, signage will be erected outside advising about any loud noises that might occur.
We are committed to being autism-friendly. Our staff are trained to support and promote awareness and understanding of neurodivergent visitors to help maintain a more soothing atmosphere.
Visitors are welcome to bring any sensory supports that help them feel more comfortable (e.g. sunglasses, headphones, sunflower lanyard, etc.).
Although we do not have designated quiet spaces, visitors can access the outdoor grounds of Collins Barracks if they need a break from sensory stimuli.
