Description

Children's Museum of the Arts families are invited to enjoy a private tour of the Mandala Lab, followed by a Damaru Drumbeats artmaking activity, at the Rubin Museum of Art on Sunday, July 10 at 12:30 PM. This event is free for CMA members; non-members are welcome to join for $25 per attendee. Group size is limited and advance registrations are encouraged. Please note that masks are required for all visitors. The Mandala Lab, located on the Museum’s remodeled third floor, invites curiosity about our emotions. 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. Following the tour, children will create a hand-held Damaru-inspired drum, an instrument used for meditation practice in Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism.
