Interested in experiencing a fun, free outing accessible to someone with dementia?

Visitors can join our Reflections Program in three ways.

Public tours at 2 PM on the second Tuesday of every month (we also partner with Duke Family Support, offering tours for those groups at 10:30 AM and 2 PM on the fourth Tuesday of every month). All tours are 90 minutes, and end with an interactive art or music activity.

Virtual tours once a month, on the second Friday at 2 PM. These are 60-minute virtual versions of our monthly tour on the Zoom platform.

For facilities and groups, we offer 60-minute tours by appointment.

All offerings are FREE! Contact us at reflections.duke.edu to schedule a tour and/or join our email list.

Enjoy artwork from the Nasher’s collection through fun conversations, experiences that engage all the senses through hands-on activities, music, movement, and art-making.

Our tours are wheelchair- and walker-accessible, and we advise drop-off at the Anderson entrance; for specific accessibility questions or concerns, please contact us, and we will make every effort to make you feel welcome at the museum.

Launched in 2014 based on the Meet Me at the MoMa model, the Reflections Program offers accessible art tours designed with individuals with memory loss in mind. Now a leader in accessible arts interventions for people with dementia, we collaborate with our academic community at Duke and the world.

The Nasher Museum Alzheimer’s Program is made possible by Stefanie and Doug Kahn in honor of their fathers, Donald Schneider and Mike Kahn; Ronald and Batsheva Ostrow; and the Carlyle Adams Foundation.
