Experience Reunion at the National Museum of Singapore through a facilitated programme for seniors!

Engage with the museum's handling objects in the activity area and look forward to creating your own digital exhibition at our Memory Lane immersive interactive experience.

Gather at Reunion – A Self-facilitated Programme for Seniors

Groups are welcome to organise self-facilitated senior-/dementia-/Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)-centric activities in the activity space within Reunion. Each self-facilitated programme is 2 hours in duration and will include:

• The use of Memory Lane, an immersive interactive experience for seniors to curate their own digital exhibition and send a copy of their completed exhibition to themselves as a souvenir, and
• Heritage-based resources (e.g. NMS Easy Guides, NHB Conversation Starter Kits) that can be used to spark conversations inspired by artefacts from the National Collection.

Booking must be made with a minimum lead time of 21 days before the intended programme date.

Each programme booking is subject to a minimum capacity of 20 persons and maximum capacity of 50 persons.

For groups comprising fewer than 20 persons, a minimum charge of $218 (inclusive of GST) is applicable based on the minimum capacity of 20 persons.

Refresh and Reconnect!

Our signature programme offering a non-medical heritage-based intervention for seniors living with mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

The 8-week long programme will be held over consecutive weeks and last about 2 hours per session. Each of the 8 sessions will include guided gallery tours led by our museum's Care Facilitator volunteers and artist-led hands-on activities based on various art forms (e.g. music and movement, craft, storytelling) to encourage new learning among participants, while leveraging the museum's collection to spark reminiscing conversations.

Memories Café

Join our dedicated programme for persons with dementia to interact and bond with their caregivers in a safe, supportive and conducive space. Memories Café at Reunion offers a fresh change of environment to caregivers who may have long been attending support groups held in more formal, clinical settings, such as dementia day care centres.

Each Memories Café programme is typically 2 hours long. The first hour focuses on engagement activities such as sing-along sessions and enjoying musical, puppet and drama performances by community artists, volunteers and staff. The second hour is designed for social interaction among persons with dementia, caregivers and customers accompanied by drinks and snacks courtesy of Café Brera.
