Arts and Health

  • Life expectancy increases the more you visit an art venue. A study conducted by the British Medical Journal showed that people who went to a museum or the theater once a month or even every few months had a 31 percent reduced risk of dying. 

  • A study in Norway found that an appreciation of culture and the arts can lower the risk of anxiety and depression.

  • Frequent museum visits increase a person’s well-being to the same degree as making an additional $5,301 per year.
