This study sought to better understand how programs at contemporary and traditional art galleries might play a role in the lives of people with dementia.
The emerging theory has four primary components: the art gallery is seen as being a physically valued place that provides intellectual stimulation and offers opportunities for social inclusion that can change how dementia is perceived. These components coalesced to create positive emotional and relational effects for those with dementia and caregivers.
This has potential implications for the use of gallery-based programs in dementia care within public health, healthcare, and museum/art gallery policy and practice
