Mindfulness and the art of getting away from it all
The noise and overstimulation of the modern world gets too much for many of us.
Room to Breathe is a dedicated space to help you experience art in a more mindful way.
You can see a variety of works from our collection and listen to original audio guides to help you to explore the art using mindful techniques.
Furniture, colour scheme, number and height of art works, text and audio meditations have all been carefully chosen in a way that we hope will encourage deeper engagement with art and reduce stress.
This a room for you. To rest. To recover. A room to breathe…

We are excited to be teaming up with psychologists from Goldsmiths, University of London to explore whether mindful viewing can deepen personal connection to art and reduce stress.
Members of the public will learn about their own bodily responses to art, while participating in a guided mindfulness practice. Each person will be fitted with a wrist sensor that will record in real-time their physiological reactions and responses to the artworks.
