Abstract

In order to elaborate the connection between museums and public health and wellbeing, the author builds a case around two arguments: first that the emergence of public museums in the 19th century was part of a broad movement to improve public health and wellbeing; and second, that there is significant evidence from public health statistics that museum visiting does make a real difference to people’s health.
