Recently, I went to the Rubin Museum for an art assignment. My art history teacher required for us to go to this museum to look at buddhism art and culture. At first I really didn’t want to go because it didn’t interest me at all. Before going to the museum, I thought the museum was free of charge or it was based on donations. I went to the museum during my break and it turns out I had to pay $10 to enter the damn museum. I was totally caught off guard by this because my art history professor told me it was supposed to be free. That $10 could’ve went to a nice Chipotle meal but it was whatever. I had to pay the $10 obviously and headed into the museum. It had a very calm vibe to it and mostly everyone minded their own business while looking at different paintings and sculptures. While looking at the paintings and they had a room for just buddhism, it was pretty cool. I never really knew about Buddhism itself so looking at all these artifacts and paintings kind of intrigued me. Additionally because my dad always wears a buddha jade necklace so it made me wonder about the religion. I proceeded to walk around the exhibit and take pictures of numerous of paintings and artifacts. I stayed at the museum for around 30 minutes or so cause I had to leave to go back to class. After visiting the Rubin, it was pretty cool but it would’ve been better without the $10 price tag just to get in. I’ve never had to go to a museum or place for a class or school in general so this was the first experience I had for going somewhere for class purposes.
