Abstract The research objective was to conduct museum object handling with older adults in differing health care settings and measure therapeutic benefits using valid and reliable clinical scales. Previous quantitative research into museum interventions found well-being improvements in acute and elderly (Thomson, Ander, Lanceley, et al., 2012) and residential care (Thomson, Ander, Menon, et al., 2012), but participants from psychiatric care were not included in the studies. The current study compared older adults receiving psychiatric care with those in acute and elderly and residential settings. Findings showed increased positive emotion and wellness for acute and elderly and residential though not psychiatric care and increased happiness and decreased negative emotion for all settings. Participants were not diagnosed with dementia as in the Camic et al. (2014) and Eeckelaar et al. (2012) studies but analysis of audio recordings implied similar cognitive gains of enhanced confidence, social interaction, and learning. The study allowed people who would not otherwise have engaged with museums to benefit from access to museum objects albeit the intervention only measured short-term gain. It is recommended that a longitudinal study taking measures over several weeks is conducted within a randomized controlled trial to endorse the current findings.
