Autism Programs in Museums are becoming more Popular! We couldn’t be happier. Can I get a High Five? The Guggenheim Museum presents” Guggenheim for ALL” Children on the Autism Spectrum along with their families get to explore artworks and then do an art project together. Likewise, there is a downloadable social narrative guide consisting of photographs with descriptions. In effect, this can really help us and our friends with other disabilities prepare for a visit to the museum. As a result of looking at the guide, you will feel as cool as cucumber. I bet you’ll be walking around like you own place. Heck, someone may even think you work there and ask you for directions. Wouldn’t that be funny? I won’t tell them if you don’t.
Furthermore, the Guggenheim has many accessibility features securable with contact with the museum before your visit. An ASL(American sign language) interpreter can accompany a tour of exhibitions with prior notice of two weeks. ASL video guides/ closed captioning can be used to tour independently.
In addition, Monthly Mind’s Eye tours and workshops are provided for blind/low vision visitors. As a matter of fact, arts and education professionals assist in giving a complete sensory experience tour of the Guggenheim. Not only that, but Mind’s Eye tours are FREE. RSVP required one week before the program date. Patrons who aren’t interested in a tour can opt for Verbal Description Audio.
Lastly, the museum is accessible to individuals in wheelchairs on all levels except the high gallery.
