For years, Tuscan museums have offered programmes dedicated to people living with Alzheimer's disease. In the present, they have set up a formalised system, the Tuscan Museums System for Alzheimer's, to co-ordinate and intensify their action. All the programmes, in their variety and differences, consider themselves as part of an overall project, based on an idea of the museum as an inclusive cultural institution; and on an idea of dementia, rather than as a disease, as a condition, which involves not only the person with dementia, but also those who accompany and support them in this challenge.
