Art in the Evening: Healthily located
Lecture by Prof. Thomas Kistemann, MD

Health research is rediscovering space. More and more studies are showing how strongly the places where we live influence our health and well-being. This is no longer just about measurable factors such as climate, air and water quality, noise, or environmental pollution. Although these form the basis, the decisive factor is that personal, social, and cultural experiences turn a space into a place.

Spaces can be measured—places are experienced. They arise where people and the environment interact and develop meaning. This spatial effect manifests itself on three levels: as a geographically defined space, as a material framework for social relationships, and as a subjective, emotional connection to a place. This relationship is never static, but dynamic and mobile. The lecture presents the theory of therapeutic landscape, which brings together and structures current knowledge about the connections between places and health.

Registration for this lecture is not required.
The lecture is free of charge.
Starting at 7 p.m.

The museum will be open until 9 p.m. this Thursday.
