People with dementia and their carers do not always have the chance to go out and enjoy themselves together. Experiencing art together in a relaxed atmosphere in the openness of a museum park has a fantastic influence on the relationship between the person suffering from dementia and the carer. It will be a wonderful experience — away from the everyday routine at home!

In April 2014, the Middelheim Museum started a special programme for people with (young-onset) dementia. These guided tours follow the example of the Meet Me @ MoMa programme of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the M HKA in Antwerp were also inspired by this programme for people with dementia. In collaboration with the senior council of the Antwerp district.
