Quiet Hours

The Museum is pleased to offer a dedicated evening for visitors who would benefit from a sensory-friendly experience. Enter the Museum an hour after closing to enjoy our galleries with a limited number of visitors, reduced audio, and a making activity. Guests can access our <a href="https://mit-museum-cms-files--production.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/MITMus_Sensory_Maps-1.pdf?v=1722361370">sensory maps</a> and a <a href="https://mit-museum-cms-files--production.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/MITMus_Soc_Narr.pdf?v=1711387600">social narrative</a> to assist in planning a museum visit, and our welcoming staff will be present to answer questions and lead several special drop-in activities. Here are modifications we’ll be making: <ul><li>We will be turning off exhibit audio that is typically playing in the background or that is activated by motion sensing. The script of this audio can be accessed by a QR code at the exhibit.</li><li>We will lower the audio on several experiences that utilize audio as part of an artwork.</li><li>We will turn off large screen exhibit in the Exchange space.</li><li>We will place signage near experiences likely to be dark or noisy.</li><li>We will provide headphones and fidgets to borrow as needed at several locations. A calm space outside of our Maker Hub will have seating and activities.</li></ul>Note: This is a pilot program that we hope to build into our ongoing programming. We would love your feedback and will be collecting brief surveys on-site and in one follow-up email.
