The HoME project seeks to advance understanding of the impact that murals in hospitals and other clinical settings can have on people who view these large visual artworks – including patients, staff and visitors.

The project will involve a mixed-methods study at sites in Slovenia, Nigeria, the UK and the US, assessing possible correlations between viewing murals and workplace belonging, perceived quality of care and wellbeing.
