Sensory Friendly Morning
January 3 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am
FreeJoin the education team for a modified museum experience centered around the Traveling Bricks exhibition. Galleries will have low or no sound, as well as dimmed lights, for a sensory-friendly morning. Educators will also be on site with hands-on building activities. The Virginia Museum of History & Culture has partnered with the Autism Society of Central Virginia to provide staff with training. To help make the experience of exploring the VMHC accessible and enjoyable for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder or sensory concerns, guests can check out noise-canceling headphones and fidget toys to use during their visit. These items can be checked out for free from the Guest Services desk. Guests who would like to check out headphones or fidgets need to leave a form of ID, which will be returned once the item is returned to the Guest Services desk. Registration is requested.
