Welcome Wednesdays is part of our commitment to making the museum more accessible to all. This initiative helps open our doors to members of the community who may not otherwise have the opportunity to visit.

For groups planning to visit the museum during Welcome Wednesdays, please note that additional accessibility supports and subsidized transportation are available upon request. Please contact [email protected] for more details.

Made possible through the generous support of the Ingenium Foundation and its donors, Welcome Wednesdays reflects Ingenium’s goal of removing barriers and creating inclusive, meaningful learning experiences for everyone — no matter their age, background, or ability.

This event was developed in partnership with:
