MONOVA is committed to creating interactive and engaging experiences with thought-provoking speakers and events that spark discussions and get to the heart of important issues.
Sensory Friendly Sundays offer neurodivergent individuals, their families, and caregivers the ability to visit the museum on the third Sunday of every month. Visitors will enjoy a calm, relaxed, and safe atmosphere. On Sensory Friendly Sundays, adaptations will be made to the exhibits, such as lowered lighting and sound adjustments for a more comfortable visit. A quiet space will also be available for visitors who need a break.
