We invite individuals living with dementia, together with their family members or care partners, to take a break from the everyday with the Museum's Met Escapes program. Through discussions, handling sessions, art making, and other interactive and multisensory activities in the galleries and in the classroom, we will travel through time, using the Metropolitan's collections spanning five thousand years of world culture.
