From 8–11 am, the galleries will be closed to the general public, allowing people of all ages with sensory processing differences, autism, or developmental disabilities to enjoy the museum in a calm environment with quiet spaces, fidgets, sunglasses, and other accommodations available. Experience a selection of current exhibitions, make art, or watch a short film. All friends and family members are welcome.

Accommodations are available if someone in your party is unable to tolerate masking. Please email access@walkerart.org or call 612-375-7561 for more information.
