Our study has investigated the effect of music on the experience of viewing art, investigating the factors which create a sense of connectivity between the two forms. We worked with 138 participants, and included multiple choice and open-ended questions. For the latter, we performed both a qualitative analysis and also sentiment analysis using text-mining. We investigated the relationship between the user experience and the emotions in the artwork and music. We found that, besides emotion, theme, story, and to a lesser extent music tempo were factors which helped form connections between artwork and music. Overall, participants rated the music as being helpful in developing an appreciation of the art. We propose guidelines for using music to enhance the experience of viewing art, and we propose directions for future research.
