Relaxed Welcome for Neurodivergent Students at the Oriental Museum

The Oriental Museum would like to welcome all neurodivergent students to Durham for the start of the new term. So whether you are a fresher looking to meet new friends, or a returning student you can join us on Thursday 19 October, 5-7pm when the galleries are generally quieter.

You will be able to explore the galleries, including our new temporary exhibition Voices: contemporary art and craft from the Middle East and North Africa

You also be able to have fun making your very own Chinese-inspired pot from clay.

The Oriental Museum cafe and shop will be open too.

Places are FREE, but limited, so booking is essential.

If you book a ticket and later find you cannot attend, please email oriental.museum@durham.ac.uk or telephone 0191 334 5691 to cancel your booking so we can make the ticket available to other visitors.

For more information on accessible and carparking, please visit our website.
