Rubin Museum

by alvin.ruan

The Rubin Museum was quite a dark place. The lighting in the museum quite emphasized the background of the Himalayan Arts and Tibetan Gods. Numerous structures have been to revere the history that their generation has made. It is quite impressive to see the skill of craftsmanship developed at such early ages. Perhaps machines today can’t even make sculptures as good as what has been displayed at the museum. It can also be told that they were very religious people. Numerous Gods Sculptures have been made to show their respect to their gods. There was also this shrine on the second floor, displaying the realm of the sacred gods. Cameras weren’t allowed, emphasizing the importance they have implanted in theses structures even till this day. It was quite a religious place, sort of like when I visited the temples in China. Very calm, in a sense that it’s freaky.However, I expected more of the museum. It didn’t quite satisfy the original standards I’ve set it to have. But, overall. it was quite a joy to see the art created by previous generations. Pieces of elaborate that one can only envy while the sculptures tells it’s stories.
