Rubin Museum of Art

Although I have very little interest in art, my experience at The Rubin Museum of Art proved to be a worthwhile visit. As I toured around the museum many sculptures caught my eye.

I was particularly interested in a sculpture of an egale-like sculpture, Garuda. Its outstretched wings reminded me of Hawkman, a comic book superhero.The majestic creature Garuda was the half bird half man, animal companion of Vishnu. Garuda was a common figure in Naplese shrines.

This experience has enriched my knowledge of art. I have gotten the chance to explore Himalayan art in the Western world. I would revisit this museum when i get the chance.
