Sensory-Friendly Morning
May 11, 2025 | 10 a.m.–12 p.m.
Location: High Museum of Art
Sensory-Friendly Morning is a free, sensory-modified program for visitors of all ages who have sensory sensitivities or are neurodivergent and their families. The event takes place prior to regular museum hours. Visitors can participate in activities and special performances or explore the museum at their own pace. See a full list of activities, performances, and other sensory-friendly offerings below.
Space is limited to reduce crowds, and preregistration is highly encouraged. Prior to Sensory-Friendly Morning, preregistered guests will receive pre-visit materials to help prepare them for their time at the museum. Similar materials are available to help plan your visit at any time on our Access page.
Visitors are welcome to stay in the museum after Sensory-Friendly Morning for our UPS Second Sunday program. Please note that large crowds are expected beginning at 12 noon for UPS Second Sunday.
