In June 2022, the Rubin Museum traveled a freestanding version of its Mandala Lab to Bilbao, Spain, as part of the Wellbeing Summit for Social Change.

Experience the Mandala Lab through the eyes of humanitarian and activist Zainab Salbi, neuroscientist Dr. Richie Davidson, and Mandala Lab organizer Tim McHenry, who were all participants in the Summit.

The Mandala lab is planned to tour in outdoor public spaces in Europe. Interested in hosting the traveling Mandala Lab? Email us at [email protected].
