National Library of Scotland
An old style juke box, radio and record player with music notes coming out of them.

Kelvin Hall is hosting an adult autism-friendly session exploring music.

During this session you'll be able to discover Glasgow Museum objects relating to music. You will have the opportunity to handle objects and hear the stories behind them.

You'll be able to see a selection of films from the National Library of Scotland's Moving Image Archive that capture different aspects of music from the past. There will also be some music-themed crafts to take part in.

The session is free to attend and will be run on a drop-in basis but you can also book to secure your place.

Kelvin Hall has a dedicated quiet room that can be used by those needing a calm space. It is located on the ground floor beside the Sports Hall. Please ask staff for directions.

Please pass this onto any adults you think might be interested in this event.

We have created visual storyboards, which help you see around our museum before your visit. See the Kelvin Hall Visual Storyboard
