Introduction to the toolkit


This toolkit is designed to support museums to produce ‘sensational’ museum interventions and full sensational exhibitions. That means working with disabled, neurodiverse, d/Deaf and nondisabled people to co-create museum interpretation/experiences where no one sense is necessary or sufficient.

How to use this toolkit

The toolkit is split into five modules. The first four modules are designed for museum staff as in-house workshop sessions, and the fifth module supports museums through a multi-workshop co-creation process. 

The toolkit is designed to be run entirely by the museum. You will need to nominate a facilitator for the workshops. Each module has extensive facilitator notes to guide you through the process, including workshop facilitator notes and resources for all of the different activities. These are all available in different formats based on accessibility needs.
