Member Sneak Peek: Mandala Lab

Rubin Museum members are invited to join a virtual presentation with Senior Manager of Exhibition Design Brianne Muscente-Solga for an in-depth look at our upcoming third-floor experience, the Mandala Lab.

Opening this fall, the Mandala Lab is an innovative initiative that uses the mandala as inspiration for teaching social, emotional, and ethical learning across our newly redesigned third floor. As an interactive exhibition and home for family and school programs with digital content, the Mandala Lab will empower visitors of all ages by offering potentially transformative experiences—in-person and virtually. Take a peek at this inspirational and imaginative space from concept to application.
