Rubin Museum

by geraldine.hippolyte

I was a little confused at first because I thought the museum was compiled of different types of art from various artists, but it was art from the Himalayas, exclusively; it was still very interesting. Sometimes you may see a piece of art and it may just be an object that was painted, but the pieces that I saw seemed very personal and meaningful to the Himalayan culture. And it was also a nice surprise to see the architechure of the building itself was a piece of art. The mood that they set for each exhibition, using lighting  and sound, was really effective; it puts you in a calm place so you can make your own assessment of what you are looking at.
