The Rubin Museum

Today we took a trip to the Rubin museum of art. It houses pieces from Asia; the Himalayan region. It focuses on the cultures of Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan, and also somewhat on the traditions of India, Mongolia, and China. What I found most interesting was the shrine room, which contained many memorabilia on the Buddhist religion. The sounds of chanting were played over the speakers, and the entire room gave off an air of reverence. I enjoyed the experience.
