State-of-the-art facilities, internationally recognized doctors, and world-renowned treatment programs are not the only healing methods offered to Mayo Clinic patients. For more than one hundred years, the art placed within Mayo Clinic’s walls has been admired and appreciated by millions; not just as a form of decoration, but as a form of healing. The artwork featured in this collection is by no means arbitrary; it is strategically curated and placed to create an inclusive “environment of healing,” in turn uplifting the spirits of patients, visitors, and employees as they occupy the space. Organized by media, the book uses stunning photographs to showcase the array of artwork displayed throughout Mayo Clinic facilities, including media like ceramics; paintings; glass; textiles; photographs; mixed media; and ancient, ethnographic, and folk art. Comprising pieces from a diverse group of artists—like Dale Chihuly, Auguste Rodin, Alexander Calder, Paul Granlund, Joan Miró, and Andy Warhol— tells the fascinating story of how the hospital came to obtain pieces from some of history’s greatest artists, and describes how each selected piece affects the mind, body, and overall healing process.

By showcasing how the #1 hospital in the world combines a form of art therapy with traditional healing methods to provide the utmost in patient care, is visual proof that there is great healing to be experienced at the intersection where art and medicine meet.
