I will write more detail about our programs either later today or this week,
but The Museum of Modern Art in NY offers single visit or multi-part
programs for people with learning or mental disabilities.

> Hello!  I am attempting to create a list of museums that have programs or
> other methods of making the museum accessible to visitors with learning
> disabilities or mental handicaps.
>
> I realize that any list I create will not be exhaustive, however, I hope
> to
> be able to determine the size, type, or other similarities in museums with
> these programs.  This is the first step in a research project I am
> completing this year as part of my studies in historic preservation at
> Mary
> Washington College in Fredericksburg, VA.
>
> If you are aware of a pre-existing guide to museums with programs for the
> learning or mentally disabled, or your museum has such a program, please
> let
> me know!
>
> Thank you for your help.
