Sometimes I visit a museum or art gallery with my family or school

We are going to the museum!

There can be lots of walking. I can stay with my group as we walk through the rooms

We can also stop to see the exhibits

I can look at the exhibits that I like and try not to touch the artwork or exhibits

I can line up and take turns if other people want to see exhibits too

It can be quiet or busy, so I can speak softly

Excuse me! Where
are the toilets?

If I need a break or help, I can ask an adult

This can keep me
calm and safe
