Health Benefits of Looking at Art
Now there is scientific evidence that visiting an art museum is good for the health.
King's College in London did a study and found that viewing original works of art had a positive effect on the immune, endocrine (hormone), and autonomic nervous systems all at once.
And cortisol levels – the key stress hormone – fell by an average of 22%.
While previous studies have linked regular gallery visits to long-term wellbeing, this is the first to capture real-time physiological benefits whilst viewing art, demonstrating its immediate benefits.
