For some
people, a museum visit can overwhelm the senses. Early and quiet openings can be
more enjoyable.
During an
early opening we reduce noise levels, flashing lights and crowds as much as
possible.
There are
early and quiet openings at St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art on 22 March. Riverside Museum offers sessions on February 9th and March 8th.
