We invite visitors to explore fantastical worlds for our Calm Morning program on July 30, from 9am to 1pm. ASL interpretation provided. 

First, explore selected galleries within Stories of Cinema, including Inventing Worlds and Characters: Encounterswhere sound and lighting adjustments will be made for a more sensory-friendly environment. Next, visit the Shirley Temple Education Studio for drop-in storyboarding and concept design activities inspired by Black Panther, E.T., and The Dark Crystal. 

In addition to the Calm Morning program, visitors are invited to attend our accommodative screening of The Red Turtle at 11am in the Ted Mann Theater. The screening is part of our weekly Family Matinees film series. A separate admission ticket is required.   

Calm Mornings create an environment for all visitors to enjoy less-sensory-stimulating spaces with moderated sound and lighting displays. Museum staff will be available to suggest areas for self-guided exploration before the museum’s opening hours. Museum educators will be available for guided Gallery Highlight experiences that are interactive and adaptable to many learning styles.
