Home is Where the Senses Are, the featured exhibit at the Ella Sharp Museum is open today and continues through May.  The exhibit Home is Where the Senses Are: A House Full of Memories offers an interactive experience inspired by a miniature house in the museum’s collection. A man from Jackson built this elaborate replica of his family’s home for his mother when she began showing signs of memory loss. For this family, the miniature home served as a way to create, reminisce, and connect even through sadness and loss. Full-size tableaux recreate house rooms, illuminating how human beings use the senses to create and retrieve memories. Informative panels define dementia and Alzheimer’s disease and explain some of the causes of memory loss. Prompts encourage visitors to try “reminiscence therapy,” using props to foster discussion of past events, traditions, and experiences with loved ones who are suffering memory loss.
