*THE CONFLUENCE OF MUSEUM CULTURE AND HEALTHCARE* The museum space serves as heaven for fostering a sense of calm and inspiration. The National Commission for Museums and Monuments has amazing collections in its repository, which cut across all areas of human endeavor, including health. The contribution the Museum can make to health and well-being is enormous. The museum promotes recreation and learning. Museum collections and messages contained in Museum Exhibition narratives are instructive for the cultivation of good health and well-being. These, the visitors can use to improve their health and social well-being. Museums are in the service of the society and its development. They set the agenda for development and behavioral changes. We have museums that deal with fantastic collections that border on public health. The museum as a research institution can study health challenges, carry out research, and come out with solutions that they can incorporate into their exhibition and make available to the visiting public. National Museum Owerri for instance has some sections of her exhibition (Ezinaulo), devoted to healthcare delivery. The health care and body adornment section of the exhibition emphasizes good hygiene as a condition for good health. National Museum Owerri in the recent past mounted an exhibition on the scourge of Malaria. This exhibition which was supported by Federal Medical Centre Owerri, aimed at educating the public on the dangers of Malaria as a public health challenge and suggested ways to reduce the risk of the scourge; particularly among pregnant women and children. As a research and information Center, the Museum has used its resources to bring about health and well-being.
