Rubin Museum

Our class trip to the Rubin Museum was both educational and fascinating. The Museum was the perfect size.  Not too overwhelmingly huge, yet large enough to be comprehensive. The building itself was remarkable, for it had a unique sweeping staircase and very spacious exhibit rooms. These exhibits showcased an immense amount of art from the Himalayan culture. There were various paintings, sculptures, statues,and beautiful pieces of jewelry from both the Buddhist and Hindu religions. Even for someone who is not the most cultured person, like me, this experiences was a great one. The vibe was so relaxing and peaceful, sort of rejuvenating spiritually. The good collection of art, from many places like Nepal, Tibut, Bhutan, India, China, etc., was far from familiar for most western people. That is part of what makes this museum so unique from many others.
