A low-stimulation visit to Micropia
- €17,-
- vanaf 13 jaar
Discover Micropia at a quiet time. On Thursday 8 October, the museum will be open especially for visitors who benefit from a less stimulating environment. During this evening, there will be fewer visitors, and the lighting, sound and other aspects of the museum will be adjusted.
For who is this low-stimulation evening intended?
The low-stimulation evening is intended for visitors aged 13 and older for whom a museum visit during regular opening hours is simply not possible due to sensory overload. You can come alone or with someone else. Do you need a companion to visit Micropia? If so, that companion can join you for free, under certain conditions.
What can you expect?
During the low-stimulation evening, various adjustments are made to make the visit calmer and more predictable:
- few visitors and no young children
- the large LED screens and background music are turned off
- there is more lighting in the museum
- staff and volunteers are prepared for the low-stimulation evening
- you can borrow a small stool at the ticket counter
- there is a quiet room where you can temporarily retreat
- you are welcome to bring your own sensory-regulating aids
- you must reserve a time slot in advance. Time slots start every 15 minutes. The last time slot is at 8:00 p.m.

Frequently asked questions
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. If you’d like to visit Micropia with someone else, that person must also purchase a ticket. Do you need an attendant because you’re unable to visit Micropia on your own? In that case, the attendant can accompany you for free, but you’ll need to reserve a separate free ticket for them.
Can I step away for a moment?
Yes. On level -1, there is a separate room where two to three visitors can sit quietly at a time.
Can I go outside during the visit?
No. To monitor the number of visitors at Micropia, you cannot leave the museum during your visit and re-enter later.
What if I'm unexpectedly unable to attend?
