The Living Room

Make yourself at home with one artwork each month.

Opening in Fall 2025, The Living Room is a new drop-in space being piloted at The Block Museum that is created for students and open to all. Settle into a comfy couch, bring a coffee, and spend a few minutes (or an hour) with a single work of art from The Block’s collection.

Each month, a new artwork takes center stage, offering a chance to look closely, reflect deeply, and spark conversation. Alongside each work, you’ll find thoughtful prompts written by The Block Museum Student Associates. 

Whether you’re here to study, meet a friend, or take a mindful pause between classes, The Living Room invites you to make art part of your everyday. Come hang out, get comfortable, and see where one artwork can take you.
