The Living Room

Make yourself at home with one artwork each month.

Now open at The Block Museum of Art, The Living Room is a new drop-in space created with students in mind and open to all. Settle in with a coffee, relax on the couch, and spend a few minutes (or an hour) with a single artwork from The Block’s collection.

Each month, a new piece takes center stage—paired with prompts and reflections written by Block Museum Student Associates to spark curiosity and connection. Whether you’re studying, meeting a friend, or pausing between classes, The Living Room invites you to slow down, look closely, and make art part of your everyday.
