Sensory-Friendly Saturdays at HNOC are mornings of exploration and hands-on learning for neurodiverse guests and their families. These events are open to individuals of all ages who would benefit from a low-sensory museum experience. Sensory-Friendly Saturdays are free and open to the public, but advance registration is recommended.

Join us for a sensory-friendly exploration of HNOC's exhibition, A Vanishing Bounty: Louisiana's Coastal Environment and Culture, focusing on the unique peoples, plants, and animals that inhabit our state. Take part in a gallery scavenger hunt or try your hand at sketching some of Louisiana’s unique wildlife. Guests will also be invited to read from available related books, or request to have a book read to them by an HNOC Education staff member. All books will be available for purchase at the Shop at the Collection.
