If I’m being completely honest, our trip to the Rubin Museum was un-inspirational and the complete opposite of being full of life. Instead being interested and passionate about the place itself, I was more excited about leaving. It also didn’t help about the fact that I don’t like museums in the first place and that I had a midterm the hour after. I felt like the spiral staircase was the most interesting part of the museum. We also didn’t get to see everything in the museum, therefore, my view of it is a bit biased and irrational. However, the shrine temple was decently likable, but only because it was “cool” to look at. Overall I did not enjoy the experience because it’s mostly about Buddhism and Tibetan art, which does not fascinate me or the rest of the class, or just most of it. In any case, I would not come back here or recommend anyone else to come here unless they are heavily sparked by the artifacts and paintings of the Buddhist and Tibetan art.
