“For the first time in a long time, I felt calm in a museum — and within myself.”

“Mindfulness in Museums is a thoughtful and innovative contribution with real potential for impact. It offers an inspiring way to connect with art and improve mental well-being — with great possibilities to grow further and reach many more people”.

“Mindfulness in Museums is about the reciprocity between people and artworks — at the level of being. It shifts the focus from engagement with art to the experience of art. It is both a collective and an individual experience. Unlike approaches such as VTS, ABL and Slow Looking, another person’s experience does not shape mine, nor does it determine my process. And yet, at the same time, you feel: I am not alone.”
