Being inside the Rubin Museum of Art reminded me of a temple I had once been to. It was very quiet, dim, full of paintings and sculptures of various deities. Although I do appreciate art I do not enjoy going to art museums. The Rubin was no exception, I liked the oriental architecture but the pieces of art did not interest me. I did however notice that there was an amazing amount of detail in the works which must have taken a long time to paint. I am not religious so I was not really inspired by the works, the various gods and goddesses held no significance. The Rubin in contrast with other museums I have been to such as the MOMA or MET had a calmer more soothing feel, perhaps it is due to the lack of modern glass and steel structures. I liked the museum more for its environment than its art displays because that is what stood out to me most from the moment I entered.
