Explore Glasgow Museums’ and the National Library of Scotland’s collections in these adult autism-friendly workshops.

Kelvin Hall is hosting adult autism-friendly sessions on the following dates from 2pm to 3:30pm, each exploring a different theme:

3 June 2026: Games of the world

2 September 2026: Transport

2 December 2026: Circus

During these sessions you’ll be able to handle Glasgow Museum objects and hear the stories behind them.

You’ll be able to see a selection of films from the National Library of Scotland’s collections that capture different aspects of life from the past.

Each session will also offer crafts activities to take part in.

The sessions are free to attend and will be run on a drop-in basis but please book if you would like to secure your space.

Kelvin Hall has a dedicated quiet room that can be used by those needing a calm space. It is located on the ground floor beside the Sports Hall. Please ask staff for directions.
