Description of initiative
Art on Tour in Healthcare works as an art education programme, bringing art to people in their everyday lives. Sensory experiences are fundamental to the health and more and more research results show that culture is good for people to feel good. Beneficiaries of the healthcare services who cannot seek out culture themselves need help with this. In 2009 it was started the Art package on tour in elderly care. Art packages in elderly care programme are boxes containing art by various artists from Örebro county who go on tour around the municipality's elderly homes. In this way, the art becomes available even for those who have difficulty getting to art galleries, galleries and museums.
