A museum visit is full of stimuli, such as sounds, moving images, smells or flashes of light. If you are easily overstimulated due to autism or a non-congenital brain injury, for example, a museum visit can quickly be too much. This is why Naturalis organizes a number of low-stimuli openings. An outing where fewer visitors are allowed into the museum, and the lights and sounds are turned down.

There are low-stimuli afternoons for families, and low-stimuli evenings for anyone who is 16 years and older. For these openings the Museumjaarkaart, Vriendenloterijpas and CJP pass are also valid.

We organize these afternoons for guests for whom a museum visit during regular opening hours is not possible due to overstimulation. We do this in good faith and assume that it will not be abused.
