Sensory Friendly Opening at the Museum

The South Australian Museum is opening our doors after hours to offer a quieter Museum experience on Friday 11 September.

We’ll be turning some sensory elements off and limiting visitor numbers to create a quieter environment.

Additionally, there will be relaxed activities on offer. Visitors can create a paper wing hand puppet, take part in The Dating Game to learn about dating techniques for Museum objects, and explore the Discovery Centre.

Entry to the 2026 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year exhibition is also included for this event.

Everyone is welcome. This is a special event for anyone who would prefer a quieter Museum visit with their friends, families, and supporters.

When: 5pm-7pm. Friday 11 September
Where: South Australian Museum
Cost: Adults $5; concession, child and companion card holders are free
