About

Adams Gallery

Your Brain on Art reimagines the Gregg Museum’s diverse collection to illuminate the profound insights of Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross’s best-selling book, Your Brain on Art, a groundbreaking work reshaping the realms of neuroscience and the arts. Visitors will embark on an enriching journey through the Gregg Museum’s collection, inspired by the transformative findings of the book. As the healthcare industry shifts towards whole health, medical professionals are now prescribing museum visits to combat feelings of loneliness and dementia. We invite you to experience Your Brain on Art and immerse yourself in meditation, drawing and sound activities curated by the Gregg Museum’s education team while discovering artworks in the gallery that punctuate the impact of art on sensory experiences, personal curation and holistic well-being. This exhibition has been co-created by a collaborative NC State faculty group, including Neurosciences, the College of Design and the College of Social Sciences and Humanities.
