The Getty has released a new episode of ‘OMMM: Our Museum Mindfulness Meditation’, a podcast series offering a guided meditation inspired by a still-life painting by Jean-Étienne Liotard. The episode invites listeners to slow down and concentrate on the experience of looking at a tea set depicted in the work.
Described by the Getty as a “relaxing meditation,” the episode is titled ‘Calming Tea Meditation—Still Life’. Its accompanying instruction is to focus on “fully experiencing the moment” through the painting and its objects.
The programme uses a work from the Getty’s collection as the basis for a mindfulness exercise. The source announcement identifies Liotard as the artist but does not provide the painting’s full title, date, medium or accession information.
The episode was announced on 18 August 2026 through the Getty’s podcast platform. It is available online via the Getty website, which links directly to the meditation episode. The material does not identify an in-person event, exhibition or specific presentation venue for the programme.
Liotard is known in the announcement specifically through the still life’s tea set, which provides the visual focus for the meditation. The episode forms part of the Getty’s ongoing ‘OMMM’ podcast offering, connecting close attention to an artwork with a guided period of listening and reflection.
