Sensory-friendly evening
A quieter visit
If you are tend to be easily overwhelmed or overstimulated because you have autism, an acquired brain injury, burn-out or are ill, a visit to the museum can easily be too much for you. That’s why we’re organising special sensory-friendly evening openings.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Open from 18-21h (after regular hours)
- Lights dimmed in the Atrium
- Few visitors
- Quiet take-a-break room with seating available
- Reception by trained hosts
- Stools available for use in the galleries
- Free audio tour on the Rijksmuseum app
- Opening of the temporarily exhibition or the main collection. This differs per evening, which you can find at the data.
WHO IS IT FOR?
We are organising these evenings for people who are unable to visit the museum during regular opening hours because they would become overwhelmed or overstimulated. We are offering this option in good faith, on the assumption that it will not be misused. You are welcome to be accompanied by a partner, family member or support companion.
If you do not have a sensory processing disorder we have some tips about how to make your visit to the museum as calm as possible. Read them here.
There’s also a sensory-friendly evening opening especially for families.
Multimediatour
During these evenings we offer a free audiotour in the museum. You can listen this at home in the Rijksmuseum app.
PREPARE FOR YOUR VISIT
