About the event
Relaxed morning openings allow visitors to experience the Museum of Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museum early in the day, when the buildings are quiet. We open an hour early to welcome visitors who may struggle in the museums at peak times. The number of visitors is capped, which reduces ambient noise levels and how full the space is.
The relaxed morning openings are designed for visitors who may benefit from a calmer environment, including those on the autism spectrum, have additional learning needs or sensory and communication difficulties, and anyone who feels they would benefit from this session.
Family members are welcome to support the visit.
Quiet spaces are available during the opening.
You will be able to visit both the Museum of Natural History and the Pitt Rivers Museum during this session.
