Join us for a relaxed opening of the exhibition '1880 THAT'. Relaxed openings provide a calm, friendly atmosphere with additional support and facilities.
You will find:
- extra staff available to help you
- fewer people in the exhibition
- sensory-support equipment (including ear defenders, tinted glasses and visors, stim toys and weighted lap pads)
- comfortable cushions and mats if you need to sit or lie down in the exhibition
- a chill-out space.
For a break from the exhibition and gallery spaces, take advantage of our chill-out space. The chill-out room has low lighting, comfortable seating, cushions, mats and space to move around and be yourself.
Need to know
We’ll be in Gallery 2. To get there, go up the stairs or take the lift to level 1.
