Museums, My Way

Themed sessions for neurodiverse visitors of all ages

Free sessions, developed with Autism Berkshire

Reading Museum and The Museum of English Rural Life are thrilled to launch ‘Museums, My Way’, a new series of sessions for neurodiverse visitors of all ages.

These sessions, developed with Autism Berkshire, provide a safe environment to explore the museums at times when they are usually closed to the public or are less busy. There are facilitated activities on themes inspired by the museums’ collections, and a quiet break-out space. Siblings, families, carers and friends are all welcome.

This session includes

• reduced volume of gallery interactive sounds
• sensory backpacks
• break out space
• themed facilitated hands-on activity
• themed gallery trail

All activities are optional and you can visit at any point within the event times.
