Visitors who are on the Autism Spectrum
Prepare for your experience at the Michener Art Museum with our social narratives. These guides contain photographs and descriptions of what you can expect during your visit. Please note, galleries and the quiet space may look different upon arrival due to changing exhibitions and/or events.
Sensory Kits are also available at the front desk and may be checked out during your visit. These kits may include books about our exhibitions or artworks, noise-reducing headphones (child/teen and teen/adult sizes available), fidgets, and laminated communication boards. Sensory Kits are available on a first come, first served basis and should be returned to the front desk upon departure.
