Banita Behera, Abhishikta Ghosh Roy

Abstract: A growing body of evidence has described that the role played in social inclusion of museums including the museums play in improving health and wellbeing is worth mentioning. Cultural heritage sector has always its implications in planning roles related to public health, which has remained one of the underdeveloped areas, especially signifying the art galleries and museums. The present discourse takes the onus to discuss the rationale for applying museums and art galleries for public health promotions and interventions in discussing the social role for the serving communities. A museum building is a sociable place somewhere warm and safe which appeals to people of all ages and backgrounds.
