In a survey of 2,500 people for the Art Fund, those under thirty were twice as likely as the over-thirties to say they went to a gallery or museum at least once a month in order to “de-stress”. Although 63% of respondents said they had visited for this purpose at some point, only 6% (and 13% of under-30s) did so monthly, leading the report to conclude that the venues are “a significant untapped resource” for supporting wellbeing.
