Sensory Saturday

Sensory Saturday is a museum program designed to make art accessible and enjoyable for visitors with sensory sensitivities or autism spectrum differences. The Cincinnati Art Museum offers a quieter, calmer gallery experience with reduced crowds, dimmed lighting in some areas, and a more relaxed atmosphere than typical visiting hours. Families can explore artworks at their own pace without the usual noise and bustle, making it easier for children who are overwhelmed by stimulation to engage with visual art. Staff are trained to be welcoming and patient, and the museum provides a comfortable space for breaks if needed.
