Delivered in partnership with local community organisation Dementia Compass since 2012, our Portals to the World programme aims to support museum learning for people with dementia and their care partner.
These free monthly sessions take place across the eight University of Cambridge Museums and the Botanic Garden. Each session combines a short talk with a gallery tour and object handling, specifically designed for those with dementia. Sessions are relaxed, friendly and supportive.
There are two session choices on offer per month on Wednesdays or Thursdays, 2 to 3.30pm.
If you feel like you’re slowing down, this is the programme for you.

In honour of our beautiful Jacobean building, originally Cambridge’s Free School, we’re exploring everything 17th-century, from historic scientific instruments to the secrets of our building. We’re open all day with family activities, curator talks and behind-the-scenes tours. Forsooth, gentles, it will be a merry meeting!
