Sensory-Friendly Programme at The Burrell Collection

Glasgow Museums and The Burrell Collection are dedicated to improving autism awareness in our museum. We've been taking part in a training programme to increase our knowledge and improve facilities in our museum designed to support autistic visitors.

Thank you for your patience as we progress.

We've developed a visual storyboard of the museum with information and images showing you what you can expect on your visit.

The storyboard highlights tactile and sensory elements of the museum, as well as showing you the facilities on offer and explaining how you can move about the museum.

You can find the visual storyboard by clicking here to visit the Glasgow Life website, where you can also find visual storyboards for other Glasgow Museums.

Alternatively, you can download the visual storyboard at the link below.
