Enrichment Workshop

I completely enjoyed the enrichment workshop at The Rubin Museum. It was very interesting to walk around that place and see how much art has been influenced by all kinds of people in the world. It was exciting to see all the displays, each telling a different story, and each teaching you something you did not know. My favorite exhibit was the Bhutadamara Vajrapani display. It is a pigment on cloth painting, which was made in Tibet somewhere between the 18th and 19th centuries. Bhutadmara, or “Spirit Subduer,” is a special four-armed wrathful form of the deity Vajrapani, who is known for  removing obstacles. The painting shows a small figure in white clothing, seated on a lotus, indicating his wish to be reborn in a pure land. The painting was very interesting and captivated my attention. I learned a lot in this workshop. I would love to go back to that museum one day.
