The Alzheimer League ASBL was one of the project\u2019s partners, alongside the National Alzheimer League (LINAL) and other organisations working in the field. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More than 128,000 visitors<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The success far exceeded expectations: <strong>128,932 people<\/strong> visited the Memory Palace over the course of six weeks, representing 96% of the venue\u2019s maximum capacity. This exceptional turnout helped shine a particular light on the realities of dementia and the importance of human connection. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition also highlighted family members, professionals and everyone who supports a person living with dementia on a daily basis. Through simple gestures, mirrors, installations and shared experiences, it invited visitors to reflect on different ways of communicating when words become more difficult. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A message echoed by the King<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project also received particular attention during the King\u2019s National Day speech on July 21, 2026. In his address, His Majesty the King spoke about people whose cognitive abilities are gradually declining and paid tribute to the work of professionals, associations and everyone who supports them. He went on to explain that the Royal Palace had chosen to dedicate one of its summer exhibitions to \u201cthe art of communicating with people experiencing cognitive decline.\u201d  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From July 3 to August 16, 2026, the Royal Palace of Brussels was transformed into the \u201cMemory Palace\u201d for an interactive exhibition dedicated to communication and connection with people living with dementia.
