Speed Slow Down: Rest + Restore 

Guided practices for reflection and wellbeing
Speed Slow Down offers mindfulness, gentle movement, and restorative experiences. Participants can enjoy guided art appreciation, gallery meditations, and wellness activities such as yoga, Tai Chi, and sound baths. Look for invitations throughout the museum to slow down, look a little longer, and practice presence. The program is designed for adults, families, and multigenerational visitors. See below for more information about this month’s movement session.
