The programme starts with a visit to MAAT's temporary exhibitions and the shared observation and reflection on works of art. Designed for people with dementia and their caregivers, this programme aims to provide creative experiences in sensory exploration while promoting moments of interaction, sharing and connection with the Other (participants and mediators) and with the museum space. 

 

We want this place-museum to be marked primarily by positive emotional experiences.

 

Participation is free of charge and does not require previous knowledge of art or a habit of visiting museums or other cultural spaces.

 

Registration requires answering a few questions. Registration form available here.

The Set the Place: Meetings at the Museum programme has the scientific and technical support of the Alzheimer Portugal Association and the Institute of Medical Sciences of the Portuguese Catholic University. It was originally designed by the Museum of Lisbon, Alzheimer Portugal, MAAT  Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Acesso Cultura and the Institute of Medical Sciences of the Portuguese Catholic University to create a replicable model in other museums. Its first pilot and test phase was performed in 2021 and 2022.
