SUMMARY:Art Together: Sensory-Friendly Hours
DESCRIPTION:During this time\, thoughtful adjustments will be made across the Museum to create a more comfortable experience for guests with sensory sensitivities.

Each sensory bag contains headphones\, sunglasses\, a fidget item\, and a weighted plush for added comfort and convenience. \nDownload our social narrative to prepare for your visit to the Museum. \n\nArt Together with Sensory-Friendly Hours is supported in part by Fleur S. Bresler and Riggs Cat. \nPhoto by Sara Reeves.
