Creative aging in virtual spaces: using museum content and music therapy to explore cultural diversity.

Introduction: During the pandemic, many creative aging programs stopped being delivered in person, and practitioners turned to various virtual platforms to deliver content for older adults to maintain their cognitive, physical, and psychosocial well-being. Collaborators from a university-based music therapy program and a global music museum developed asynchronous virtual programs, one for wellness populations and another for memory care settings. Content was developed and delivered by the paper's principal investigators in collaboration with the museum's curatorial team and an upper division music therapy class composed of juniors and first-year graduate equivalency students ( = 21).
