Mindfulness in your museum

For Museums

Two ways to work with Mindfulness in Museums

Museums work with Mindfulness in Museums in two different ways.
Both approaches deepen the experience of art — but they differ in depth, facilitation and training.

Mindfulness-based museum programmes

We develop and facilitate the programme with you

In this approach, Mindfulness in Museums collaborates directly with your museum to design a programme connected to your collection, exhibition or audience. Together we develop a tailor-made programme that becomes part of your museum programming.

Sessions are facilitated by qualified mindfulness teachers trained in the Mindfulness in Museums methodology, often with experience in mental health or wellbeing contexts.

These programmes offer a deeper mindfulness-based experience and include guided attention, reflection and inquiry with artworks. This is the right approach if your museum wants to offer in-depth programmes for visitors or specific audiences.

Mindfulness-informed museum practice

We train your team

In this training, museum professionals explore the foundations of mindfulness and how its qualities can inspire new ways of engaging with art.

Through simple practices and reflective methods, participants discover how attention, curiosity and sensory awareness can deepen encounters between visitors and artworks.

Instead of facilitating formal mindfulness sessions, teams learn how to bring these qualities into their own programmes — creating museum experiences that invite visitors to pause, look again, and connect more deeply with what they see.
