This is not a joke. From November 1, 2018 Montreal therapists will be allowed to write prescriptions for Wellness visits the Montreal Museum of fine arts

the effectiveness of art-терапии has long been known. Switching people to creative activity and heals the body and soul. But now there a sufficient amount of scientific evidence that some patients useful and a meeting with art in a Museum atmosphere. When viewed interesting displays increasing levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin — "happiness hormone", and reduced levels of cortisol (the"stress hormone"). In addition, the trip to the Museum makes patients more active and psychologically disconnect from their problems. Museum therapy is not suitable for everyone. The effect of a meeting with art in some people can lead to exaltation — excitement until he lost consciousness. With these symptoms is in particular the "Florence disease", she "the Stendhal syndrome".

anyway, now in Canada (only Montreal, but the experience can be extended to other city) can prescribe to patients and where necessary their families free tickets to the municipal Museum of fine arts. So would the ticket cost almost 1 200 roubles in recalculation on our money.

We have also that-то such would not. From ticket prices to the leading museums of the country (about 500 rubles), too many people getting sick.
