Description

As the agency reported it.

The project will address accessibility for programs, educational opportunities, exhibitions, and virtual initiatives. Programming will include artists and musicians working with participants living with disability, ASL interpretation, and incorporate new means of accommodation such as sensory bags and sound blocking headphones. Staff will receive training on accessibility best practices, and project activities will be informed by a newly formed advisory committee consisting of members of the community who have lived experience in each area of accessibility focus. This collaborative, institution-wide initiative will remove barriers to engagement and build the museum's capacity to better meet the needs of visitors of all abilities.
