Rubin Museum

Huh.
This museum trip was quite an interesting one. Honestly, I actually expected this museum to be a gigantic museum all fancy and famous. Well, it probably fits the criteria being ‘fancy’ and ‘famous’, but it certainly didn’t seem large, like the Museum of Natural History. When I first went in, I didn’t expect to see so many people sitting down on tables. The reception desk was pretty clear and free from visitors, so when we took a simple turn, there was quite a contrast between the amount of people visiting and the amount of people dining. I asked why they were there, and I was informed they were probably here for auctions and whatnot. How…high-class. It suddenly felt like there was a huge gap between me and the dining area, even though it was only a few feet away…Do I belong here?

Well, pretty much, the spiral staircase was quite nice. Albeit it’s small status, this staircase effectively conveys a grandiose feeling to the establishment, as it spirals upward (or downward) so it emphasizes the area that was used to construct the exhibits. The exhibits contained lots of neat trinkets. I definitely liked the scrolls and how these people thought back then. An amusingly incorrect perception of how a baby was formed had me going, but it was understandable. Beards before they began as children? Hah!

In the end, we couldn’t go through the entire museum because of time constraints. Hopefully, I’ll have the time to go there once more to check out the higher level floors. It seemed pretty interesting.
