Aiming to make museum facilities accessible to a wider range of users, this tailor-made program welcomes children and their parents/guardians facing various challenges or circumstances for fun-filled museum experiences. “Art communicators,” curators and university professors accompany participants through the collections to make first-time museum-goers feel right at home.
Appreciating treasured museum items together with someone gives each participant a sense of self-worth and positivity about themselves. Relax and enjoy the world of museums!
