In this paper, we explored the perception and interpretation in minimalist art, with an emphasis on the minimalist works of Donald Judd. Minimalist works do not impose meaning on the visitor, but co-create it in interaction with the visitor and the space. These works of art are no longer intended only for visual perception, but become part of a dynamic that includes several factors. In the paper, we consciously used the term »visitor« and not »viewer«, as it emphasized the active role that the individual plays in interaction with minimalist installations. The interpretation of minimalist installations is no longer about understanding the work and the artist's message, but also about the visitor's subjective factors. Finally, we took as an example a child's response to Donald Judd's minimalist installations, which raises the question of how different age groups, where children are the least subjective, experience minimalist art. The emphasis of the task was that minimalist installations are not just an object of admiration, but an artistic event, an experience.
