In the Moment
In the Moment is a program designed to creatively engage those living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of memory loss and their care partners. We are happy to offer In the Moment both in person and virtually through Zoom.
Guided Tours
Participants view selections from the museum’s collection of art and historical objects, as well as exciting objects on view in our seasonal exhibits, and are guided by museum educators in conversation, learning, and fun.
Art-Making Workshops
Hands-on opportunities for creative expression with all needed art materials provided by the museum and delivered to your door! In this program, you interact with museum educators over zoom, where they guide you through the art-making process.
For groups in either day programs or live-in facilities, these sessions are scheduled at a day and time convenient for the group. For individuals and care partners, we offer Afternoons@LIM. Sessions are held one to two times a month. See the flyer below to find this month’s offering.

Spring Training!
Baseball – and all of its drama, excitement, and joy – has been at the heart of some of our most celebrated films. Whether you consider yourself a spectator or player, you’ll enjoy clips from movies such as Pride of the Yankees, Who’s on First, Damn Yankees, and Field of Dreams.
Recognizing that movies have the power to spark memories and create connections, this program presents an opportunity to engage in discussion while socializing with others.
This program takes place in LIM’s Gillespie Room in the Carriage Museum and is offered at no charge.
Space is limited & preregistration is required. To reserve your spot or for more information please call (631) 751-0066 x212 or email educators@longislandmuseum.org
