I had always loved going to museums. As a child, my uncle would take my cousins and I to different museums for the summer. We went to the Museum of Natural History, the MET, the MoMa, and even the Cloisters. We would also travel to other places like Washington, D.C. to go to the museums there. We went to the Space Museum and also into the important places around D.C. One thing that I really like about going to museums is being able to see the artifacts and then learning the stories behind them. Like where it came from, who made it, and why is it important. The Rubin Museum of Art was a completely different type of museum. I like the design of the building as well as the different artifacts they had on display. What really interested me though is the fact that this museum actually answered a question for me that I have been wondering for some time now. My boyfriend’s mom is really religious and she has these idols placed around the house. When I walked into the exhibit I was so surprised to see that these idols were the ones that were in their home! I loved seeing the intricate designs of each idol and reading about the differences of each artifact, like which goddess or god they were. They also had a mediation room in the museum which I found really relaxing. I wish I could have stayed there longer! I am definitely stressed out and overworked. If it were up to me, I would just stay there and meditate in its peacefulness. Out of all the other enrichment workshops we have attended, the Rubin Museum of Art was definitely one of my favorites. 😀
