Museums as Mindful Spaces: Enhancing Wellbeing for Educators

Museums offer restorative spaces for contemplation and connection. However, these opportunities often miss broader audiences. This workshop explores Getty’s Education department’s focus on mental health and wellness through large-scale events for burnout-prone educators, mindfulness and art programs for lifelong learners, and reflective educator sessions. Discover how to open museum spaces to diverse communities, fostering wellness and connectedness. Learn to leverage your institution’s strengths to create inclusive, wellness-focused programs.
