Welcoming people on the autism spectrum
We believe museums are for everyone. However, some people can find visiting new places difficult. We wish to make our museum as accessible and inviting as possible.
Preparing for your visit a few days beforehand can make for a more manageable and enjoyable experience. Therefore we have created a crystal clear- autism-friendly guide to help young people, teens and adults on the autistic spectrum familiarise themselves with our museum.
