Museums of History NSW joins the Sunflower
Published on Wednesday 03 December 2025
As we celebrate International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) on 3 December 2025, Museums of History NSW proudly joins the Hidden Disability Sunflower Program.
At any of our properties, people with a hidden disability can choose to wear a Sunflower lanyard, which discreetly indicates to staff and others that they may need additional time, support or understanding during their visit. Hidden disabilities may include autism, epilepsy, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder or any other disability that is not visible.
The distinctive sunflower design provides consistent recognition across locations, including when travelling through airports or on public transport, attending sporting events or visiting museums.
At Museums of History NSW we seek to make history accessible to all. We are delighted to support the Hidden Disability Sunflower Program as an important initiative to help all visitors feel welcome in our museums and spaces.
If you would like to wear a Sunflower lanyard when visiting one of our properties, please speak to one of our friendly staff or museum experts and they will lend you one.
Museums of History NSW and our Diversity and Inclusion Network (DAIN) are committed to making all of our properties, events and programs accessible.
