Rubin Museum of Art

i was pleasantly surprised to my trip to the Rubin museum. I, perhaps ignorantly, assumed that i would be uninterested in Asian art. however, when I visited it, I found the works beautiful. Particularly the religious depictions of Gods and their accompanying animals. Not being religious myself, I never really though of the importance of such religious icons. But when I saw the details and workmanship that went into making even the smallest figure, i was amazed. I came to realize how important these ideas were to people, and why they devoted such attention to their art. I have a new found appreciation for such things, and wish I had the luxury of time, to explore the museum more.
