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