A trip to Rubin Museum Of Art
by nayeeb.fahmi
Hello everyone,
I visited the Rubin Museum of Art yesterday. I spent 2 hours in the museum and I have to say, it was quite an inredible experience. Visiting the museum was necessary to post a blog for my freshman seminar course. However, visiting the museum gave my plenty of excitement. It did broaden my mind, nourished my soul and widen my domain of knowledge about the ancient Buddhist cultures.
Rubin Museum is situated in the 17th street , between 6th and 7th avenue. I went there by subway. Initially , I faced some difficulty to find the museum . After 15 minutes of walk from the subway station, i was able to find the museum. The museum provided us with symbols and relics of rich Buddhist culture. I was able to take the picture from the first two floor but couldn’t take a single picture in the 4th, 5th and 6th floor. The second floor contains arts and sculptures of ancient Himalaya and Tibet. I tried to see those scluptures and explore their histories. One picture certainly caught my attention though :
This picture shows the structre of ancient Buddhist society. I took a lot of pictures. Although I am not into arts and museums , I still like my trip.
The third , Fourth and Sixth floor showed more evidence of ancient societies related to Buddhism. Fifth floor contains items which exhibits the powr of religion. In conclusion, this trip has been a valuable experience for me. I leave you with one of my other photos from the museum :
