Vleeshal occasionally organizes sensory-friendly openings. These are for visitors who prefer a calm and predictable environment. During these openings, we minimize sensory stimuli as much as possible.

During these openings, we do the following:

  • There is a rest area.
  • Few visitors in the exhibition at the same time.
  • At the information desk, you can borrow earplugs, fidget toys, sunglasses, or headphones.
  • A sensory map is available at the information desk. This is a floor plan of the exhibition. You can also download it below.
  • Before your visit, you can view a visual preview online. See the link below.

Rest area

During the sensory-friendly opening, there will be a rest area. You can find the location and details in the sensory map and the visual preparation.
