The Rubin Museum of Art is one of the few museums in the world dedicated to the art and cultures of the Himalayas, India, and neighboring regions.
The museum was founded by Donald and Shelley Rubin, who transformed a former Barneys department store into a vibrant cultural hub in 2004.
The Rubin Museum boasts a collection of over 3,800 objects, including paintings, sculptures, and textiles from the Himalayan region.
Visitors can participate in 'The Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room,' a meditative space designed to evoke the atmosphere of a traditional shrine.
The museum features 'The Mandala Lab,' an interactive space where visitors can explore emotions through sound, scent, and movement.
The 'Awaken' podcast explores the intersection of art, science, and wisdom traditions, offering fresh perspectives on ancient teachings.
The museum's spiral staircase is inspired by the form of a mandala, symbolizing the journey towards enlightenment.
