National Portrait Gallery
Things to Remember…
A Social Story
I am going to the National Portrait
Gallery soon. There are things I
need to remember so everyone
can have fun!
I will remember to follow the rules.
Rules keep art safe. Rules keep me
safe.
Security guards may talk to me
about the rules. This is okay. I will
try to listen to the security guards
because security guards want to
keep me safe.
I will remember to walk in the
museum.
It is okay to look at pictures with
my eyes. I will remember to keep
my hands down at my sides.
It is okay to look at sculptures with
my eyes. I will remember to keep
my hands down at my sides.
Sometimes I will see a rope in
front of art. The rope helps me
remember to stand on one side of
the rope. The art will be on the
other side.
It is okay to ask a question. I will
remember to try to talk with my
quiet inside voice.
If I feel tired, I can sit on a bench.
If I feel hungry or thirsty, I can eat
or drink in the Courtyard.
