Abstract

Many of us visit museums occasionally, while smaller numbers of people establish stronger relationships with their local museums or galleries. Meanwhile, the selection and display of exhibits reflects a particular view of society in general, and of mental distress in particular.In this paper, Jocelyn visits several museums to find out how they respond to the reality of mental distress, and asks: what role can museums play to represent and widen the participation of people with mental health experiences?
