| Abstract | The majority of public health programmes are based in schools, places of employment and in community settings. Likewise, nearly all health-care interventions occur in clinics and hospitals. An underdeveloped area for public health-related planning that carries international implications is the cultural heritage sector, and specifically museums and art galleries. This paper presents a rationale for the use of museums and art galleries as sites for public health interventions and health promotion programmes through discussing the social role of these organisations in the health and well-being of the communities they serve. Recent research from several countries is reviewed and integrated into a proposed framework for future collaboration between cultural heritage, health-care and university sectors to further advance research, policy development and evidence-based practice. © Royal Society for Public Health 2013. |

| Museums can be places that encourage people to learn about themselves, their culture and society, and the larger world around them. . | One such potential partner is the cultural heritage sector, a segment of which comprises museums and art galleries. . | In addition, when attending the majority of UK national and US federal museums no cost is incurred for regular admission, while in many other European countries entrance fees are reduced or free for children, students, older adults and those unemployed, making access less dependent on financial ability while also encouraging frequent attendance across all age groups; two ideal variables for public health programming. . | The role and interplay of sensory modalities may help explain why kinaesthetic museum interventions afford wellbeing benefits. . |
