The Museum is pleased to offer a dedicated evening for visitors who would benefit from a sensory-friendly experience.Enter the Museum an hour after closing to enjoy our galleries with a limited number of visitors, reduced audio, and a making activity. Guests can access our sensory maps and a social narrative to assist in planning a museum visit, and our welcoming staff will be present to answer questions and lead several special drop-in activities.Here are modifications we'll be making:We will be turning off exhibit audio that is typically playing in the background or that is activated by motion sensing. The script of this audio can be accessed by a QR code at the exhibit. We will lower the audio on several experiences that utilize audio as part of an artwork. We will turn off large screen exhibits in the Essential MIT and Exchange spaces. We will place signage near experiences likely to be dark or noisy. We will provide headphones and fidgets to borrow as needed at several locations. A calm space outside of our Maker Hub will have seating and activities. The Museum opens to the general public at 10am but is typically quieter in the morning. We'll begin to slowly turn exhibit components back on starting at 10am.Note: This is a pilot program that we hope to build into our regular ongoing programming. We would love your feedback and will be collecting brief surveys on-site and in one follow-up email.This event is free. Registration required.

By composing and recording on-site, Lupe engages directly with the sculptures, murals, and installations across campus, using their forms, histories, and surroundings as creative catalysts. Capturing ambient sounds and crafting lyrics in response to each piece, the project transforms public art into a living sonic experience—where rap and visual art intersect in real time.This program is weather dependent. Registered attendees will receive an email the day before the tour date if needed to cancel due to weather conditions.
