Project title
The Unforgettable Van Abbe programme
Description of initiative
The Unforgettable Van Abbe programme consists of interactive tours for visitors dealing with Alzheimer’s disease. Looking at art in an interactive way offers them the opportunity to express themselves and to engage in a dialogue with their environment. The programme focusses on the positive, creative and inspiring aspects, not on the disease. During an Unforgettable tour, participants are seeing artworks together and they are engaging in conversations. By sharing stories, memories, associations and ideas, the participants bring the artworks to life.
