The Jones Center galleries are stroller friendly and wheelchair accessible. Please use care when navigating the galleries.

Accessibility Resources

 
The following resources are available for guests at the Jones Center Reception Desk and the Visitor Center at Laguna Gloria.
 

Visitors with sensory sensitivities

We’re excited to be working with KultureCity to create sensory inclusive experiences with sensory bags containing noise-canceling headphones, fidget tools, weighted lap pads, and visual tools, as well as dedicated quiet spaces for respite.
 

Visitors who are colorblind

Specialized EnChroma glasses are available. These optimized lenses selectively filter light to increase contrast between red and green color signals for richer, more vibrant art viewing.
 

Visitors who are blind

We’ve partnered with Clovernook to translate exhibition and visitor materials into Braille.

We offer free admission and regularly scheduled access tours at both locations.
 

Museums for All

Through the Museums for All program, we extend free admission to anyone currently receiving SNAP benefits.
 

Free Days

Admission is always free Wednesday evenings at the Jones Center and Thursdays at both locations.
 

Access Tours

Our Visitor Engagement team leads Spanish language tours, Stroller-friendly tours, and ASL tours through collaborations with Austin Community College’s ASL student interpreters as well as certified interpreters through Ploeger ASL Interpreting. Visit our events page for details on upcoming tours.
