Description of initiative

The project "Meetings with memories" was inaugurated in 2013 as a nationwide museum project aimed at people diagnosed with dementia and their relatives. Meetings with memories is a collaboration between the National Museum, the Dementia Association, the Alzheimer's Foundation and the Swedish Dementia Center. Through the project, museum educators around the country were trained so that they can arrange their own special exhibitions at their museums for people with dementia and their relatives.
