SENSORY HOURS - NOVEMBER 29, 10AM-12PM

Sensory Hours are back and they are here to stay! Starting this month, and monthly going forward, The Hangar will have scheduled Sensory Hours for our visitors with sensory processing disabilities. If you come to visit during this time, and you do not require Sensory Hours, you are also more than welcome to enjoy our galleries.

Join us on November 29th from 10am to 12pm and tour the museum with dimmer lighting, muted videos, short on-demand tours, and a quiet space (Our Lancaster Room) to regulate and ground yourself if needed. With no extra fee for admission, and staff available for active accommodation, our hope is that the museum becomes more welcoming for those who need support in enjoying our space.

To further support our neurodiverse visitors, we have recently partnered with Variety Children’s Charity to make sensory backpacks available for all visitors who may benefit from them. Each backpack is free to borrow at our front desk, and contains a pair of noise-canceling headphones, sunglasses, a communication board, activity books, and sensory regulating tools to accommodate those with sensory processing difficulties. If you would like to borrow a backpack, please bring a piece of photo-ID to leave at the front desk for the duration of your visit.
