Museums play a crucial role in contributing to individual and collective well-being, connecting people and enhancing social resilience. This interactive session combines rapid Ignite-style presentations showcasing a variety of wellness-focused museum initiatives including creative aging, social connection, and nature and wellness programs. The session will then transition into a World Cafe discussion, where participants will explore programming, partnerships, and resources, while brainstorming ways to enhance and/or build wellness programming at their own museums.
