Abstract
With an unstable economy and many cultural institutions fighting for the same visitor dollars, some museums are questioning how they will remain relevant and sustainable. There are museum professionals who believe these challenges require a shift in why, how, and who they serve in their community. Many museums have chosen to address their community's needs by targeting programs to individuals with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers. This master's project examines the creation of partnerships between museums and health and social service organizations (HSSO), such as the Alzheimer's Association, to develop and implement programs for individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
