First-Year Seminar 2017 – DMB

Rubin Museum of Art visit

Few days ago, I went to the Rubin Museum of Art. I’ve visited many NYC museums, but not this one. Honestly, I doubt I would ever go if it weren’t for the assignment. Especially since this month was so stressful in college. Not only that is hard to adjust to the new environment, new people, professors, but also, we have a lot of homework, readings and tests.

I decided to visit this museum after school, and since it’s not so far away I walked. So, this visit also gave me the opportunity to look around the city, explore and get to know this city little bit better. I didn’t even know what the exhibition was about so I didn’t really have any expectations. I entered the museum and started walking around. First thing I noticed is that it was very quiet and that is kind of most important for me when I go to the museum. Because when there is a lot of people you can’t really focus on the art and think about it. The exhibition was about Hindu religion and I’ve never been to this kind of exhibition. I’ve spent more than an hour circling around the museum. I didn’t expect to like it this much. At the end of my visit I was really amazed and felt good for coming here. On my way to home I decided to walk different way and see the city little bit more.

I think this was great experience and very surprising. I thought this was going to be just another task I had to do, but it was relaxing. Also, after that visit I felt like I want to visit more museums like this and to explore what NYC has to offer.
