ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum kalder sig for et mentalt fitnesscenter og er Danmarks første demensvenlige museum. Museets mange sociale programmer henvender sig til forskellige målgrupper heriblandt unge på kanten, mennesker med demens, psykisk sårbare og sundhedsprofessionelle. Det, der kendetegner programmerne, er, at de tager afsæt i kunsten, der giver noget at være fælles om. Kunst og kultur skal styrke oplevelsen af sammenhæng og mening, og ARoS samarbejder med en lang række organisationer og foreninger.

ARoS Aarhus Art Museum calls itself a mental fitness center and is Denmark’s first dementia-friendly museum. The many social programmes at the museum are targeted to different groups such as vulnerable young people, people with dementia, mentally vulnerable people and healthcare professionals. The programmes are characterised by taking their starting point in art as a joint project. Culture must strengthen the experience of coherence and meaning and ARoS collaborates with a number of organisations and associations.
