Mental Health: Mind Matters

Oct. 26, 2024 through Feb. 2, 2025

Mental Health: Mind Matters returns to the Science Museum of Minnesota to invite visitors to explore the complex landscape of the mind. In this attention-holding exhibit, unravel the layers of mental health, using empathy and understanding to analyze the specific challenges and triumphs associated with mental well-being. 

Featuring a breadth of diverse perspectives and personal narratives, Mental Health: Mind Matters creates an open space for transparent conversations about mental health. The National Alliance on Mental Illness estimates that 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year. Yet, misunderstanding and stigmatization of mental illness often leads to a lack of treatment and needless suffering. That makes mental health a personal, social, and economic issue. 

Initially created by Heureka, the Finnish Science Centre, Mental Health: Mind Matters has been updated and modified for the North American audience.
