Activating the Art Museum: Designing Experiences for the Health
Professions, the first book on this subject, offers an argument for
collaboration between educators in art museums and healthcare
professionals. Through descriptions of teaching practices, the
authors bring us into the galleries along with participants to
demonstrate the value of art museums in supporting humanism in
healthcare for the benefit of both practitioners and their
patients. It includes advice on selecting meaningful and
provocative works of art; models of responsive workshop design;
compelling descriptions of gallery experiences; references to
supporting medical literature; and the voices of medical students,
physicians, and other health professionals. Chapters address key
topics including tolerating ambiguity; empathy; interprofessional
teamwork; confronting bias; the power of story; caring for the
spirit; wellbeing and mindfulness. This inspiring and practical
resource, written by three respected museum educators, is grounded
in their experience with multiple individual and institutional
partnerships and in designing hundreds of gallery experiences for
healthcare trainees and practitioners. This book will be valuable
to educators, leaders, and policy-makers in museums and health
care. These readers, as well as general audiences with an interest
in art and health will be inspired by the potential of art museums
to activate our empathetic imaginations and remind us of our shared
humanity.
