About this event in the Jura in Dole
Museum visits and mental health
With “Museum Visits on Prescription – SISM”, the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dole invites you to discover its masterpieces with a focus on looking after your mental health.
The presentation of this initiative highlights the many recognised benefits of museum visits: they help reduce stress, improve cognitive abilities and lessen symptoms of anxiety and depression. They also help combat the isolation associated with certain illnesses.
From artworks to museum visits on prescription
These positive effects are presented as being sufficiently well established today that some doctors now prescribe museum visits. This connection between discovering artworks and mental health is what gives museum visits on prescription their purpose.
In Dole, the invitation is to come and discover the masterpieces of the Musée des Beaux-Arts while looking after your mental health.
