Editor’s Note: I’ve found that spending about 45 minutes to an hour in ‘focus mode’ is far more rewarding than strolling through for hours (in case of big museums). I usually look around twice – the first is a quick walk-through to identify what is attractive to me; the second is slower – to linger, take a closer look and maybe snap a few photos (if allowed).

This section is an attempt to bring the same rhythm to your digital screens. These thematic explorations of museums invite you to dip in, reflect and (maybe even) plan your visit! If you’d like to share your reflections -what surprised you, stayed with you and so on – head here.
