We’re redesigning our Learning Gallery, and we need your help! Become a Whipple Museum curator for the afternoon and build your own museum.
At the Disability Friendly Opening, the museum will be open exclusively for families with children with sensory sensitivities. This event is aimed at children with special educational needs who usually find visiting museums overwhelming due to conditions that affect their sensory processing and/or have a developmental disability.
Join us for a relaxed morning at the Museum for all the family. We’ll have picture books, drawing materials, sensory play resources, as well as tips and ideas to help you enjoy your visit. Babies and young children are especially welcome.
These free events build upon our ‘Family Welcome Project’, a participatory research project with the North Cambridge Child and Family Centre.
