The book utilises the Five Ways to Well-being as a model: Connect,
Be Active, Keep Learning, Give, Take Notice. Each of these Ways are
explored through a specific museum object illustrating the
important role collections can play in museum well-being. The book
considers how museum well-being, and the austerity project became
entwined, and how the COVID-19 pandemic supercharged growth in this
field. The book explores such diverse topics as walking, slow art,
social capital, Virginia Woolf, body positivity, collective joy,
identity, art therapy, yoga, Squid Game, Effective Altruism,
mindfulness, gift exchange, the Preston model, the limits of data,
sketching, photography, inclusive spaces, and workplace well-being.
The book signposts a vast array of existing information, and offers
a critical engagement with current practices. Museums and
Well-being is aimed initially to students of museum studies
programmes, it is also an ideal book for a museum staff who needs
to add a well-being component to their existing programming; or to
reconsider existing programming from the perspective of well-being.
