Doctors In Brussels Prescribe Free Museum Visits To Boost Mental Health

The Brugmann Hospital, one of Brussels’ largest health centres, is prescribing cultural visits for mental health under a 6-month trial in partnership with 5 of the city’s museums. Studies show that virtual tours can make older people happier and healthier, reducing the feeling of social isolation and boosting mental health and well-being. This trial will find if it also helps people suffering from depression, anxiety or stress.
