Mandala Lab @BAM

Where emotions can turn to wisdom

Mandala Lab @BAM is an experiential journey curated by BAM in collaboration with The Rubin Museum of Art of New York, in which, you can immerse yourself in the five rooms, each dedicated to a state of mind: Pride. Attachment. Envy. Anger. Ignorance. These complex mental states can turn to wisdom accordingly with the Tibetan Buddhist tradition through specific practices that use a mandala as a guide.


In addition, until April 21st you can join free activities in collaboration with Portanuova designed to explore emotions and relationships.

Find out all the events of the initiative on the Portanuova Milano app.
