Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - I still want to be part of the world...where I belong'. A case study of the experiences of a man with Alzheimer's of dementia-friendly guided tours at an art museum

Notas: Sumario: There is a growing interest in the role art museums might play in enriching the lives of persons with dementia. The literature has started incorporating the views of persons with dementia in the knowledge production, but in-depth explorations of their art experiences are still rare in the literature. This article adds to the research with a case study of a man with Alzheimer's who regularly takes part in dementia-friendly guided tours at his local art museum. The article examines through a narrative analysis the role his visits to the art museum might play in the way he navigates life with Alzheimer's. The authors argue that the art experiences are important cultural resources in the man's effort to hold his own' faced with Alzheimer's. The study is bound to a Norwegian context, but the art programme has similarities with related programmes at art museums in other countries.Registros relacionados: En: International Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL) . - Los Angeles, CA : Scientific Research Publishing, 2021-2022 = ISSN 1652-8670. - 27/09/2021 Volumen 15 Número 1 - 2021 , p. 163-191Materia / lugar / evento: Museos Alzheimer Visitantes Otros autores: Synnes, Oddgeir
