Slow-Looking as a Path to Mental Health Recovery at Frederiksberg Museums

Beskrivelse

Imagine stepping into a serene, art-filled museum space after a long struggle with mental illness. You are guided gently to observe an artwork’s colours, textures, and lines—not to interpret but simply to notice. In this stillness, something shifts: a sense of calm, connection, even hope.

This is the reality behind See Listen Talk, an innovative project by Frederiksberg Museums in Denmark in collaboration with Roskilde University. By using the slow-looking technique, this programme supports young psychiatric users on their journey to mental health recovery.
