Museums, as neutral, non-judgmental spaces, play an important role in enhancing听mental, social and physical aspects of a community.听This talk explores how museums build and grow in collaboration with their community听partners. To drive creativity and agency, participants can benefit from such social听spaces for experiential and experimental opportunities that provide access to artsbased听wellness & art therapy content and programming. This is achieved through听engagement and empowerment by offering multimodal therapeutic opportunities听from moments of calm, reflection and self-expression in connection with the听museum鈥檚 collection and the architecture.
