In Neuchâtel, Switzerland, doctors can now prescribe free museum visits to patients as part of an initiative aimed at improving mental and physical health.
From the headline, it almost sounds as if they’re forcing the museums to let people in without paying if they have a doctor’s note.
But it’s actually a program funded by the city that pays for a limited number of people’s admissions if prescribed by a doctor.
Honestly, even if museums were being forced to forego admission fees, they’d probably be okay with it if it’s not too many people. It gets new people to come in who wouldn’t typically be in a museum. It’s almost like a doctor advertising for them.
