The Beaney: A Pioneering Therapeutic Museum

The Beaney is a therapeutic museum that can help improve your health and wellbeing. Contemporary research has confirmed that museum collections have restorative and therapeutic qualities, enhancing people’s mental and physical wellbeing. With this in mind, The Beaney has developed an award-winning health and wellbeing programme, which uses its unique building and collections to create a ‘tonic’ to enhance a visitor’s experience.

The Beaney’s recent work has focused on fostering a sense of belonging at the museum and is showcased in this film.
