See Me at the Smithsonian

See Me at the Smithsonian is an interactive program for adults with dementia and their care partners.

On scheduled weekdays, pre-registered participants (8-10 people) explore some of the Smithsonian’s most beloved objects in small group discussions and multi-sensory activities. See Me provides intellectual engagement, opportunities for socialization, and the ability for loved ones to spend time together in a relaxed setting. In-gallery programs take place at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, National Portrait Gallery, National Museum of Asian Art, National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the National Museum of American History. Since May 2020, the Smithsonian has fully transitioned to delivering virtual See Me programs. To date, all five museums have hosted virtual programs via Zoom and plan to continue this practice for the foreseeable future.

Programs in English are held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. Virtual programming for larger groups in community locations is available upon request.
