At Ease Early Opening: Open House Special

Enjoy a relaxed early opening of the Museum, where families with additional sensory needs can experience the galleries in a quieter environment.

From 8.30am to 10am, our galleries will be open early for families with additional sensory needs. Select interactives will be turned off, noises and lights turned down, and a quiet room will be available for downtime.

Part of Open House London, this event allows you to take part in a family craft activity, using recycled materials to build a giant structure.

Explore the Museum further with sensory backpacks that enhance the experience with tactile aids.

All visitors to this special early opening will be sent a visual story in advance to provide an idea of what to expect on arrival. Please note: the Museum opens to the general public at 9.30am, with galleries opening at 10am.
