Pause & Reflect
Pause & Reflect
Before entering the second floor gallery, check-in with yourself and your body.
How is your heart rate?
How are you feeling right now?
To arrive at this interactive exhibit, enter to the left of the mural and locate the mock counter on the left-hand side of the second room.
You may have to wait in line along the wall, but it is worth the wait. The counter exhibit is an interactive and embodied experience; you will sit at a replica of a lunch counter, on a bar stool, and put on headphones that will play sounds and noises for you. The seat and counter will vibrate and move.
Do this experience and then pull your phone back out.
