Healing and digital futures


NEMO’s Working Group LEM – The Learning Museum recently released a publication addressing one of the ways museums can care for people today. "Art, healing and museums" explores how museum‑based art psychotherapy is emerging as an impactful tool for wellbeing. Through the National Gallery of Ireland’s "No Words" programme, the report shows how museums can create supportive, creative spaces for individuals affected by trauma and social marginalisation - and how such initiatives can be scaled and replicated.

To help museums prepare for the challenges of tomorrow, we invite you to save the date for NEMO’s European Museum Conference, taking place 11–13 October 2026 in Vilnius, Lithuania. Join to explore how AI, cybersecurity and digitalisation are reshaping cultural institutions - and how museums can strengthen trust, participation and resilience in modern democracies. Registration opens June 2026, sign up for a reminder.

Happy reading,
the NEMO office
