Low Sensory Nights

Monthly Low Sensory Nights offer children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), physical or cognitive disabilities, or sensory processing considerations, and their families with a quieter museum experience. With extremely limited attendance, Low Sensory Nights turn down the noise, crowds, and stimulation of a typical day. Low Sensory Night admission is free and registration is required.
