MANDALA LAB
WHERE EMOTIONS CAN TURN TO WISDOM
ON VIEW // OCTOBER 1, 2021 – OCTOBER 1, 2026
An Interactive Space for Social, Emotional, and Ethical Learning
The Mandala Lab, located on the Museum’s remodeled third floor, invites curiosity about our emotions. Consider how complex feelings show up in your everyday life and imagine how you might have the power to transform them.
Inspired by powerful Buddhist principles, the Mandala Lab features five thought-provoking, playful experiences—including videos, scents, sculpture, and curated percussion instruments—that guide you along an inner journey focused on self-awareness and awareness of others. See, smell, touch, and breathe your way through the space, designed to inspire connection, empathy, and learning.
