Abstract: This article examines the programs designed for neurodiverse audiences developed by the Grigore Antipa National Museum of Natural History in Bucharest. Framed within the theoretical context of Disability Studies and informed by relevant legal frameworks, the analysis situates the museum’s activities in relation to inclusive practices implemented by contemporary European and U.S. museums. The study pursues two main objectives. First, it investigates the availability, structure, and specific features of educational programs targeting neurodiverse children and young people at the Antipa Museum. Second, it shows the degree of interest and engagement demonstrated by the target audience in response to these initiatives. By addressing these objectives, the article contributes to a broader understanding of how cultural institutions can design and implement inclusive educational strategies that respond effectively to the needs of diverse audiences, while also aligning with international accessibility standards and theoretical developments in the field of disability and museum studies.
