Dear Gemocrats
Over the last few years at Macquarie Uni (Sydney, Australia) we have
developed outreach programs for our museums and collections (science &
art) that are delivered in aged care facilities. We think this is a
fairly neglected audience, but we see good value in continuing this
specific type of community outreach work. We were wondering how many
other cultural facilities also run programs specifically directed at
this group?
It would be interesting to compare notes off list if anyone else is
doing similar things in the UK or elsewhere.
Cheers
Andrew
