Museums, as neutral, non-judgmental spaces, play an important role in enhancing mental, social and physical aspects of a community. This talk explores how museums build and grow in collaboration with their community partners. To drive creativity and agency, participants can benefit from such social spaces for experiential and experimental opportunities that provide access to artsbased wellness & art therapy content and programming. This is achieved through engagement and empowerment by offering multimodal therapeutic opportunities from moments of calm, reflection and self-expression in connection with the museum’s collection and the architecture.
