Sensory Saturday

Sensory Saturday is a specially designed program that welcomes visitors of all sensory needs to explore art in a calm, welcoming environment. The Cincinnati Art Museum opens its galleries with reduced crowds, softer lighting, and lower noise levels, making it easier for children and adults with sensory sensitivities—including autism, anxiety, or ADHD—to enjoy the collection at their own pace. Families can wander through world-class artworks, ask questions, and take breaks in quiet spaces without feeling rushed. It's a thoughtful way to experience art together as a family while honoring different ways of engaging with the world.
