Object-Based Learning and Well-Being provides the first explicit
analysis of the combined learning and well-being benefits of
working with material culture and curated collections. Following on
from the widely acclaimed Engaging the Senses, this volume
explicitly explores the connection between the value of material
culture for both learning and well-being. Bringing together experts
and practitioners from eight countries on four continents, the book
analyses the significance of curated collections for structured
cultural interventions that may bring both educational and
well-being benefits. Topics covered include the role of material
culture in relation to mental health; sensory impairments; and
general student and teacher well-being. Contributors also consider
how collections can be employed to positively address questions of
identity and belonging relating to marginalisation, colonialism and
forced displacement. Object-Based Learning and Well-Being should be
a key first point of reference for academics and students who are
engaged in the study of object-based learning, museums, heritage,
health and well-being. The book will be of particular interest to
practitioners working in higher education, or those working in the
cultural, heritage, museums and health sectors.

The role of museums in enhancing well-being and improving health
through social intervention is one of the foremost topics of
importance in the museums sector today. With an aging population
and emerging policies on the social responsibilities of museums,
the sector is facing an unprecedented challenge in how to develop
services to meet the needs of its communities in a more holistic
and inclusive way. This book sets the scene for the future of
museums where the health and well-being of communities is top of
the agenda. The authors draw together existing research and best
practice in the area of museum interventions in health and social
care and offer a detailed overview of the multifarious outcomes of
such interactions, including benefits and challenges. This timely
book will be essential reading for museum professionals,
particularly those involved in access and education, students of
museums and heritage studies, as well as practitioners of arts in
health, art therapists, care and community workers.

The value of touch and object handling in museums is little
understood, despite the overwhelming weight of anecdotal evidence
which confirms the benefits of physical interaction with objects.
"Touch in Museums" presents a ground-breaking overview of object
handling from both historical and scientific perspectives. The book
aims to establish a framework for understanding the role of object
handling for learning, enjoyment, and health. The broad range of
essays included explores the many different contexts for object
handling, not only within the museum, but extending beyond it to
hospitals, schools and the wider community. The combination of
theoretical analysis, policy assessment and detailed case material
make "Touch in Museums" invaluable reading for students and
professionals of museology or cultural heritage.
