DESCRIPTION:Rocks & Minerals gallery\, Floor G\n\nScientists believe doin
 g five simple things a day can protect our mental wellbeing\, just like 
 eating five fruit and veg a day can protect our physical wellbeing. Our 
 Health Rocks display and trail\, developed in partnership with Start (th
 e award-winning NHS arts-based service\, part of Manchester Mental Healt
 h and Social Care Trust) shows how the Museum and its collection could c
 ontribute to your five a day.\n\nEight people interested in wellbeing wo
 rked with us\, looking at ways our collection of fossils and minerals co
 uld inspire creative artworks and wellbeing ideas. The participants went
  on a 12 week course made up of art workshops\, curators' talks\, visits
  to see and handle the Museum's fossils and minerals and mindfulness exe
 rcises (a technique that uses our senses to bring us into the present mo
 ment\, which is proven to benefit wellbeing).\n\nThe resulting artworks 
 can be seen in hand-made books on display next to objects from our fossi
 ls and minerals collection. The wellbeing trail\, based on five objects 
 from the Pre-historic and Rocks & Minerals galleries\, takes you on a wa
 lking and thinking tour.\n\n
