As a carefully regulated storage facility, GMRC offers visitors a calm and controlled environment to engage with our collection. Join us on the second Friday of every month for an autism-friendly tour of the Glasgow Museum Resource Centre's transport, technology, and paintings stores. After the tour, guests will have the opportunity to handle a variety of objects from the museum collection. Free sensory kits will be made available at the reception, and a quiet safe space will also be available all day.
Tours are 2pm - 3.30pm on Friday 9th October, 13th November and 11th December.
Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance by emailing museumbookings@glasgowlife.org.uk or calling 0141 276 9300
