rubin museum

Last week in freshman seminar we attended the the rubin museum. By the time we got to the museum it was closing so we only go to stay for a little bit. The museum seemed very interesting and fascinating. There were many pieces of art collected about the himalayas. The history has alot of past and history and in our short tour guide, we got to learn alot about the museum. The rubin museum has a wide collection of himalyan art. In the tour guide we got to see the Tibetan shrine room from the Alice S. Candell collection. The shrine has 170 pieces of created from the 13 to 19 century. All the work was collected by Alice in her visit there. I was looking through the rubin museum website and i found some new interesting pieces of art they have now added to there collection. Some of the artworks included the Sahaja Chakrasamvara, Great hierarch and the Vajravarahi. all these type of arts vary n different ways they are displayed. The Sahaja is on a piece of cloth, The great Hierarch is a statute and the vajavarahi is also on a piece of cloth. The rubin museum is an excellent way to learn about past himalyan culture and to learn about its past history.
