Rubin Museum Of Art

by artem.kovalchuk

When i first walked in to the Rubin museum it cewrtainly felt different from other museums i had visited. It was much smaller and smelled of curry and inscents.The museum deicated its displays to mostly Asian art from the himalayas and places like Tibet , India and China. The art itself consisted of statues deicated to many gods and dieties, needless to say the art was mostly religious( there was even a shrine on the third floor of the exhibit.). Along with that there was som more contemporary art  on the 5th and sixth floors, for instance there were a few diplays made by the Artiost Anne (whose last name i forget) had photogrphic art displaying melting ice which represents fluid in motion. There were a few interesting displays my favorite being the Giant maskes in the museum on the third floor of the museum(might have been fourth i cant recall properely). I thought the visit was rather mundane though and the musuem was more odd than interesing if anything. I didnt really feel anything when i left or entered the musuem mostly due to the fact that i have very little interst in relgion and its history.
