"Quiet Tour Experience": Explore the courthouses, Zwinger, and Coerder phone exchange exhibit in a serene and guided setting
The Münster City Museum is taking a significant step towards making museum visits more accessible for neurodivergent individuals with sensory impairments. On Tuesday, September 16, at 4 pm, and again on Thursday, September 18, at 8 pm, the museum will host a "Quiet Hour". During this time, loud noise sources will be turned off, guided tours will not take place, and visitors are asked to walk quietly through the museum and not approach other guests.
On Tuesday, visitors can embark on the "Quiet Hour Path", designed to help prepare for the exhibition, provide orientation, and reduce impressions. This path is available as an app and brochure. On Thursday, a public tour of the Zwinger will take place, with participants exploring the nearly 500-year-old walls of the Zwinger using flashlights. The institution organising this tour is not specified.
The "Quiet Hour" is not just about reducing noise levels. There's a designated retreat area on-site for guests, and communication cards are provided to ensure a comfortable and inclusive experience. The cost for participation is five euros, reduced to three euros.
On Thursday, September 18, at 8 pm, a guided tour focusing on the eventful history of the Zwinger will take place. Art historian Dr. David Gropp will explain the living conditions in Münster over 200 years ago using models of the Beverförder Hof and the Burenschen Gadem. The tour will be guided and will take place as the sun sets.
Further dates for the "Quiet Hour" can be found on the City Museum's website at www.stadt-muenster.de/museum. On Saturday, September 20, at 4 pm, a tour at the Münster City Museum will focus on the different living worlds of Münster's residents in the 18th century.
The City Museum also has a special exhibit opening on Friday, September 19. In 1967, a new central telephone exchange went into operation in Coerde, and visitors can view a replica of this in the window display of local history at the City Museum from Friday, September 19.
It's important to note that during the "Quiet Hour", it is requested not to react to unusual behaviour from others. All visitors are welcome during the "Quiet Hour", and visitors are asked to respect the peaceful atmosphere and walk quietly through the museum.
The "Quiet Hour" is a commendable initiative by the Münster City Museum, demonstrating their commitment to making museum visits enjoyable and accessible for everyone.
