About
A quieter museum opening for visitors who prefer reduced sound and interaction levels.
On this date, interactive sounds and audio are turned down or off, and the museum does not book group or school visits. A small number of motion-activated interactives cannot be switched off, and the museum cannot guarantee it will be entirely quiet. Ear defenders are available in sensory backpacks; the shop is quieter if a security-case alarm sounds. The event is free drop-in and runs during the museum’s 10:00am–4:00pm opening.
