Attending the Rubin Museum of Art was an “enlightening” experience to say the least. The metal statues of Buddha and other Hindu and Buddhist gods were beautiful and immaculately designed. My overall experience was fun and educational. Upon arrival I was very impressed by the spiral staircase and fancy decor. All of the different levels were well organized with fact posters that described each display case. The gods of fury and war were very intimidating. Seeing there long tongues and fiery eyes so carefully portrayed made me do a double take. The incorporation of sexual intercourse was very evident on the statuaries. It was interesting to see that relation between there culture and ours, sex being a huge media selling business technique and apeal in modern America. When I got to the sanctuary I felt engulfed by the Tibetan techniques of reaching enlightenment. It was like diving right into their world. This was by far the funnest assignment for any class I’ve ever taken. Fascinating and very enjoyable. A taste and see experience of a truly significant and influential ancient culture.
