LinkLinksOpinion Dorothy Kosinski in ARTnews: This Art Museum Was Founded in Response to a Pandemic Death. It Has Much to Teach Us Now. By Editor On Apr 4, 2020 Last updated Apr 4, 2020 29 Share The world is currently facing unprecedented challenges, and the arts can provide a measure of relief. Now that we are unable to interface with our communities physically, we in the field need to be thoughtful about how we move the wellness aspects of the museum experience online. Recently there has been a movement towards thinking of museums as places of solace and meditation, and this is something we need to continue to focus on beyond the Covid-19 crisis. But it is often assumed that this is something new. The institution I lead, the Phillips Collection in Washington D.C., is proof that art has been associated with wellness long before the current focus on this connection. 29 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
