Begin your day at M+ with an exclusive meditation experience set amid the captivating installations of A.A.Murakami: Floating World.
The fog and bubbles installations made by the artist duo A.A.Murakami create scenes of otherworldly beauty. Led by art educator and yoga and mindfulness instructor Lau Tin Ming, this meditation workshop invites you to immerse yourself in the installation—slow down, pay attention to your breaths and steps and watch the appearance and disappearance of the fog and bubbles. By focusing on how you react to the everchanging scenes you see, you bring your awareness to the present, to your body, and to the surroundings, building a connection with your inner self.
Immerse in the serenity of the museum before its opening hours, and explore the moments between realms with guided meditation and deep looking exercises to enrich your art appreciation experience at M+.
