Saturday 6 October – Saturday 13 October from 3.00pm – 4.00pm

Join the Egypt Centre in our efforts to spread awareness about autism and autism spectrum disorder. Enjoy the quiet, calm environment with reduced sensory ‘traps’ such as reduced lighting and quiet galleries.

Enjoy sensory stimulating activities such as feeling casts, handling objects (cotton or nitrile gloves required), and trying on Egyptian clothes in the House of Life. smell myrrh and natron salt in the House of Death and explore our objects.

Autistic visitors may find our Information for Visitors with Autism page helpful when planning out a trip.
