The trip to the Rubin Museum was interesting and boring at the same time. I haven’t been to a museum in a long time, so it was kind of a refreshing experience for me. The Rubin Museum was definitely exquisite, with the expensive restaurant and fancy staircase and all, but it featured many exhibits and works of art. Even though there were many exhibits and works of art, it seemed repititive. The works of art were mostly centered around Buddhism and under the influence of the Himalayas, so some of them had common characteritics. However, it was interesting because there was a sense of evolution between the works of art. The works of art were displayed and influenced differently throughout different cultures and different ages of time. In addition to the evolution of the works of art throughout time, the culture difference was also appealing. Different cultures displayed their ideas based on their belief, so it was really diverse.
Another thing that was interesting to me was the position of the religious figures. Even the positions were simple, there were a whole lot of meaning behind them. I learned a lot about the position and how the religious figures connect with nature and the world. For example, an open hand represents receiving and touching the ground represents transferring. The whole idea of the transition of energy from an outer level to an inner level was flabbergasting. Overall, I felt neutral to the trip, but I definitely learned new things regarding cultures and beliefs.
I forgot how interesting museums were and how they promoted education as well as awareness, so I’d probably be interested if there’s another museum trip.
