On Friday evening, September 15, I went to the Rubin Museum of Art with a fellow freshman from Baruch. We went because she had to go as part of an assignment from her art teacher. The Rubin Museum of Art is currently showcasing a multi story collection of cultural relics from Hindu and Buddhist religions. As well as having these numerous relics on display they have included cultural experiences one would experience when practicing these religions such as accurate and realistic mockups of what would be a room of worship complete with sounds and lighting. My favorite part of the visit was being able to see the many different tapestries and solid good relics that filled the exhibits. My particular favorite was a worship bell encased in a wooden case. You can go every Friday till 10pm for free, other days you must pay admission. I mad the mistake of showing up at 9:45 so I really didn’t have the time to enjoy and take in the experience and what was there to the fullest so I think I will head back before the exhibit is replaced.
