Nervous about your visit?
New environments can be scary no matter how old you are! We have used the My Museum Book from Libraries and Autism to help with visiting a new place! This book helps to explain what we do, programs you may be interested in, when we are open to the public as well as some rules to keep in mind when you are visiting. We welcome all ages, abilities and demographics. And our hope is to ease the transition from the comfort of your home or school to the museum.
