Our Quiet Openings will take place every 1st Sunday of the month. On these days we will:
- Be turning off or turning down sounds
- Where possible, putting away any strong smells that are part of an exhibition
- Providing a quiet space at Ferens Art Gallery and the Museums Quarter.
We are also currently changing some lighting in our buildings and this should make the lighting more consistent longer term.
These things will be available everyday;
- Sensory resources like colour filters, ear defenders, torches fidgets and magnifiers are available to borrow on the front desk
- Sensory Maps will be available for each site from Sunday November 3rd
If you are not able to come on the 1st Sunday of the month, our quieter periods are after 2.30pm on a term time weekday, or Sundays, especially during the winter.
Please check our listings for details of events which will affect how busy we are.
