The Mandala Lab, located on the Rubin Museum’s remodeled third floor, invites curiosity about our emotions. Inspired by powerful Buddhist principles, the interactive space features five thought-provoking, playful experiences that guide visitors along an inner journey focused on self-awareness and awareness of others.
