QUIET HOUR: Sensory Friendly Hour at the Museum
Family friendly
Free to visit
Visit and explore the Galleries during a dedicated Quiet Hour at the National Museum of Ireland, Turlough Park.

Take time to explore the National Folklife Collection during a dedicated Quiet Hour at Turlough Park.

Museums can be busy and overwhelming, so we’re creating a calmer, Autism-friendly environment.

Background music will be reduced or off, and gallery lighting dimmed for a soothing atmosphere.

While there are no designated quiet spaces, visitors can use the grounds or check visual guides for quieter areas.

Synge & Byrne Café will also host a Quiet Hour with reduced noise and lighting.
