Memories at the Museum - Museum of Photographic Arts

In collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association, docents lead a virtual museum tour for people with memory disorders and care partners.
About this Event

Join us on Tuesday, July 2, from 2 to 3 p.m. with the Museum of Photographic Arts for a discussion and virtual tour. Docents with the Memories at the Museum program engage people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease and an accompanying family member or friend in discussions about the artwork to stimulate visual and verbal abilities, and to spark memory.
