Early Birds: Access Mornings is limited to around 100 visitors - prior to the museum opening at 10am - and offers a designated quiet area for those needing to take a break, as well as staff trained in autism awareness and disability. The next available session is 16 January at 8am. Tickets are free and can be booked here.
Many of Sydney’s other cultural institutions also offer access programs such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales, which includes Auslan-interpreters, tactile and sensory tours, audio-described tours and a structured program for people living with dementia and their carers.
At the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, the ongoing Bella program offers a range of free creative programs for people of all ages with disability and access requirements. Tomorrow, Saturday 5 December, children and young people aged 5-18 years who are blind or have partial vision are invited to attend the MCA Australia with their family member or support provider for an audio-described tour of Lindy Lee: Moon in a Dew Drop, which is free to attend and can be booked here.
For those keen to get up close with some furry friends, Taronga Zoo Sydney welcomes guests with autism and their family or friends to enjoy early entry on select days throughout the year as part of their Access Taronga program. Children with or without special needs can also enjoy the Zoo’s Backyard to Bush area, which includes interactive displays and graphic material set-up inside an urban home and backyard, along with a backyard for petting animals and a garden.
