When you visit an art museum, you are the VIP. At least according to art curator and Schmidt Ocean Institute artist-at-sea-manager, Haley Ha.

She says the people who work behind the scenes at art museums care enormously about visitors and their experiences. 

One result from all that work? Haley says art museums are places where you slow down, enjoy yourself, and connect with yourself or with friends. 

Haley also gives us the inside scoop about three of her favorite pieces at the Seattle Asian Art Museum, where she previously worked.

They include a deeply moving sculpture in SAAM's entryway by Kondo Takahiro, Park Young-sook's Moon Jar (which counts among its superfans a member of the K-Pop boy band BTS), and Ai Weiwei's Water Lilies, a 50-foot-long mural made entirely of Legos.
