Rubin Museum

I never took to the idea of Buddhism.  Not because I had anything against the belief system, but with such fun characters from Greek, Roman, or Egyptian mythology, no one really wrote books about Buddha’s story and his adventures, so I didn’t know enough about it to really have an opinion.  That is why the trip to the Rubin museum was particularly enlightening.  It gave me a chance to see into the artwork and the physical depictions of the beliefs of a lot of people, including my ancestors.  It was very interesting to see that instead of several gods and goddesses that embody humanistic traits, there are the many faces of Buddha that guides a person’s life.  I also liked the architecture of the museum itself.  Besides the intention of making it seem like one is climbing a mountain, it is very easy to navigate.
