Getty’s first video podcast encourages you to engage with works of art mindfully, wherever you are. Part art history, part mindfulness meditation, each episode focuses on one work of art and uses it as an inspiration for meditation and reflection. Learn about Edvard Munch’s time on Norway’s coast then imagine the blue light of his Starry Night traveling through your body, releasing tension as it goes. Or take inspiration from Van Gogh’s Irises to bring new awareness to your senses. Long-time museum educator and meditation practitioner Lilit Sadoyan translates her work leading mindfulness meditation tours at the Getty Museum into a podcast that fits into your daily routine. Can’t get enough? Between episodes, catch Lilit’s interviews with fascinating guests like a planetary climate scientist, a sleep historian, a mountain climber, and an art conservator. Conducted as part of the research process, these casual conversations provide new insights into the week’s artwork and meditation theme.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-24T02:17:19.769967+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495"},"episode":{"title":"Blue Light Visualization with Edvard Munch’s Starry Night","slug":"blue-light-visualization-with-edvard-munch-s-starry-night","published_at":"2026-06-30T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495/blue-light-visualization-with-edvard-munch-s-starry-night","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ommm-our-museum-mindfulness-meditation-7867495","url":"https://www.getty.edu/podcasts/ommm/blue-light-visualization-edvard-munch-starry-night/","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.blubrry.com/3958092/ins.blubrry.com/3958092/103FULL.mp3","summary":"Bring awareness to the memories, thoughts, and emotions evoked during this blue light visualization inspired by Edvard Munch’s Starry Night (1893) and his many uses of the color blue. Munch’s Starry Night is an emotionally charged painting of the coastline in Asgardstrand, Norway, where the artist recalled falling in love. Feelings were an important component to Munch’s artistic practice, and he believed that his abstracted landscapes altered depending on who viewed them. For Munch, color was a particularly powerful tool to express emotions and psychological states. Upon first viewing, the painting appears monochromatic, a wash of blue where sky melts into shore. Further close looking and reflection reveals the nuances in shades and texture of the paint. It is a rich, layered canvas that provokes feelings and invites viewers to engage with their thoughts and memories.
