In recent years, the growing recognition of neurodiversity has prompted a critical reassessment of inclusivity within cultural institutions. This desk-based study examines the current accessibility for adults with autism in Scottish art museums, looking at the Burrell Collection, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the National Gallery of Scotland, and the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. By analysing existing policies, programs, and physical spaces, this research identifies significant gaps that hinder full participation by neurodiverse individuals. It highlights the challenges faced by autistic adults in navigating museum environments, such as sensory overload, lack of tailored communication, and insufficient staff training. Based on these findings, recommendations for improvement are proposed, advocating for inclusive design principles, enhanced staff education, and the creation of specialised programs. This framework aims to foster a more inclusive museum experience, ensuring that art museums in Scotland can serve as welcoming spaces for all visitors, regardless of neurodiversity.
