Event
The Hunt Museum in Limerick offers a programme for people living with early onset dementia and their family/carers. The whole idea is to spark reminiscences and conversation. A responsive and welcoming space is provided for people with dementia to participate in facilitated discussions and become active participants in the life of the museum.
Come and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the Hunt Café. Then look at some of the objects in the Hunt Collection and other objects from times gone by.
