Rubin Museum of Art

Visiting the Rubin Museum was a unique and interesting experience.  It informed me about the culture of the Himalayas.  Seeing various samples of Himalayan art made me form a better understanding of the Buddhist and Hindu culture.  Two pieces of art stood out to me the most.  The first was the Tibetan Shrine Room.  It was absolutely gorgeous and allowed me to appreciate Tibetan’s religious culture better than if I just read about it. The sculptures of various deities in Himalayan culture were very interesting as well because as I read the description I was able to compare these deities to religious figures that are significant to my religion as a Catholic.
