THE INCREDIBLE BENEFITS OF VISITING THE MUSEUMS MORE OFTEN
Visiting museums isn’t just about acquiring knowledge, it also contributes to your mental well-being. According to a study led by psychologist Katherine Cotter from the University of Pennsylvania, making an effort to visit museums can benefit your health, not just your culture.
THE BENEFITS OF THIS EXPERIENCE
1. Positive Emotions and Better Quality of Life
Unless you’re visiting a museum that completely fails to spark your interest, the experience is generally rewarding. As Mark Traves, an American psychologist, explains in Psychology Today, "Visiting art museums evokes positive emotions and encourages deeper engagement, leading to an improved quality of life."
2. Reducing Stress
Another benefit is the reduction of cortisol, the hormone related to stress. Research shows that contemplating art in museums leads to an immediate decrease in cortisol production. This experience allows your mind to enter a rare state of calm, which is essential for managing stress.
3. Combatting Isolation
Lastly, museum visits can help combat feelings of isolation. As Traves points out, "Both the artwork and fellow visitors can make us feel connected and less isolated, and it may even lead to the formation of communities with shared ideas". Unlike solitary screen time, visiting museums provides a social environment that can improve your mood and mental state.
