Barefoot Day

Here’s your opportunity to explore the Museum without shoes—barefoot! We’re offering this unique sensory experience in support of the neurodiverse community as part of the Barefoot Autism Challenge. The challenge coincides with Autism Acceptance Month, held in April each year. Tyler Leech, the creator of the challenge, explains that many autistic individuals prefer going barefoot for the natural stimulation it provides, aiding in processing environmental information and fostering a sense of grounding. The challenge aims to encourage people to try a barefoot experience while advocating for the autistic community.

Experience fun art activities spread throughout the Museum as you explore barefoot. No registration is required.
