A museum visit can be very tiring by the many impressions you get to process in a short time. This applies even more for people with autism, some disabilities or ilnesses for example, people who handle stimuli in a differtent way and could have a lower energy level. For them a museum visit can be experienced as exhausting.

In collaboration with Onbeperkt Genieten Foundation we have, therefore, started a pilot for a reduced sensory stimulated museum experience. Thereby we're meeting the specific needs of this very diverse group of visitors. Making the museum accessible to everyone regardless of any restrictions and together enrich the experience of art and culture; that's where the Special Guests program of the Van Abbemuseum aspires.
