The exhibition takes visitors through Singapore’s journey towards being a dementia-friendly nation and details the support available to persons living with dementia and their caregivers.

Visitors are invited to journey with Giffy the Giraffe, the mascot for the Dementia-Friendly Singapore initiative, to learn about dementia in Singapore through five themes: Facing Dementia; Understanding Dementia; Living with Dementia; Caring for Dementia; and Supporting Dementia.

Visitors will experience familiar local settings — such as at home, in the train, and at a hawker centre — through the lens of a person living with dementia via interactive exhibits. The exhibition also shares ways of becoming a Dementia Friend, a role which everyone can play to contribute towards supporting those living with dementia.

To bring the topic of dementia closer to young Singaporeans and help them understand the role they can play, the exhibition features a “human library” of stories from persons living with dementia and their caregivers.
