The National Gallery Australia (NGA) in Canberra are offering arts therapy tours to help people with dementia overcome isolation. These art therapy tours helps them stay connected with the wider world by engaging them in conversation with others, helping them be inquisitive and look for meaning in what they are viewing. This process assists in reducing their anxiety and distress.
