Come along to our relaxed openings, which are designed for visitors who would prefer a quieter experience in the museum.

Interactives and audio will be turned down or off to create a quieter experience for visitors who prefer it.

During School Holidays and half terms We will be opening an hour early at 9am for a quiet hour, after this our audio will remain switched off for the rest of the day to reduce sensory stimulation.

There are a small number of interactives that are on motion sensors and cannot be turned off. We can never guarantee how quiet or busy the Gallery might be during these sessions, however, we will not book in any groups or school visits during these days.

Sensory backpacks and sunflower lanyards are available from the front desk if you would like to borrow any for the duration of your visit.

There is seating provided around the museum should you need it.
