Museums are not only custodians and exhibitors of objects and works of art, but are also active participants and shapers of society. Museums offer visitors a wide range of programmes and workshops that encourage engagement and activity, promoting a lifelong learning approach. However, the institutions' commitment to knowledge transfer is not limited to children and school groups. Museums and exhibitions also provide a rich learning experience for older people, and museum learning has a role to play in preventing various diseases, maintaining mental well-being and preventing loneliness. In my thesis research, I provide an overview of the range of programmes and activities offered specifically to senior citizens by museums in Hungary, organised according to a specific typology. The aim of the study is to summarise and define the types of the interactive programmes and opportunities available for the active older generation and people with dementia.
