What is Accessibility Mornings?
Accessibility Mornings is a quarterly event that gives children with disabilities and their families exclusive access to explore the Museum with comfort and safety before it opens to the general public (and then stay for the day if desired). The Museum’s interactive art installations vary from high-sensory activities to designated sensory-break zones that provide a range of experiences for children with disabilities and their families to enjoy.
Virtual Accessibility Mornings Resources
Due to the Museum’s closure during the COVID-19 pandemic, Accessibility Mornings 2020 events have been cancelled or postponed for the time being. In its place, we are collecting online art resources and virtual arts programming from partner organizations for our Accessibility Mornings families to access here.
