Research interests

Project title: 

Age-friendly Museum

Project outline: 

This research will explore the nature and characteristics of museums that are most likely to support the health and wellbeing of older people, in order to provide the evidence-base for the positive impacts of museum arts on older people. The final output of this research is a toolkit that can be used to enhance older people’s experience and participation in museum-based art, which could also contribute to supporting “healthy ageing” in the UK. The findings of this study may also inspire museum and related practitioners and contribute to a wider discussion on the role of the built environment, art and museums in the wellbeing of older people.
