Accommodations and Sensory Space at Montgomery

About

The accommodations and sensory space within the exhibition provided a welcoming environment for visitors with sensory needs. By embedding sensory elements directly into the exhibition rather than isolating them in a separate space, the museum encouraged longer visits and more meaningful interactions with the art. The space was particularly effective in engaging families with young children who used the sensory elements to create art and explore the exhibition in a hands-on manner.

Intended Outcome

To create an inclusive, sensory-friendly environment that encourages longer visits and deeper engagement with the art

Actual Outcome

The space was highly successful in engaging visitors, particularly families with young children who used the sensory elements to create and interact with the art.

Advice Post Project

Continue integrating sensory-friendly elements into exhibitions to foster inclusivity and longer visitor engagement.
