| 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 and art galleries as partners for public health interventions. CULTURAL HERITAGE AND PUBLIC HEALTH Most public health practitioners and researchers are probably not likely to consider the heritage sector and specifically museums and art galleries as venues for interventions focused on health and well-being two areas directly related to public health policy and programming. Despite an enhanced understanding of the possible cognitive and psychosocial evidence regarding the benefits of artsand health-focused interventions in museums/galleries research is still in an early stage and tends to lack control or comparison groups that would better allow assessment of impact and health economic analysis. While some museums have developed partnerships with health and social care services in the UK and elsewhere this is far from the norm. Partnership working also suggests an avenue for further health behaviour research about those who currently attend and do not attend muse-ums/galleries so that health promotion/ education can be more focused and evidenced based within these settings.
