Come along to the Museum after hours. Visitors with autism and other sensory or accessibility needs can enjoy a quieter, less crowded visit to the Museum. This is a chance to see all of our permanent galleries, and maybe discover something you've never noticed before!

While everyone is always welcome at the Museum, we acknowledge that sometimes the crowds and noise make visits harder for our neurodivergent visitors and those living with a disability. We will be altering some of the screens, lights and sounds around the Museum to make it a more sensory friendly experience.

Attendees can enjoy the Museum galleries and our sensory backpacks will also be available to borrow free of charge.

In March 2018, the Museum was declared an Autism Friendly Venue by Autism SA.
