We went as a class to the Rubin Museum and explored Tibetan Art. The museum is very modern and carries many art pieces. An art piece that caught my eye was the “Base with Lions.” The “Base with Lions” is the oldest piece of art that the museum carries. Ontop of the piece was where Buddah was supposed to sit. However, he’s not there. Tibetan Art revolves around Buddhism and Tibetan art.
