THE RUBIN MUSEUM OF ART IN CHELSEA, NEW YORK CITY, EXPLORES AND CELEBRATES HIMALAYAN ART, CULTURES, AND IDEAS ACROSS HISTORY AND INTO THE PRESENT. WITH ITS GLOBALLY RENOWNED COLLECTION, CENTERED LARGELY AROUND ART FROM THE TIBETAN PLATEAU, THE RUBIN FOSTERS UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF HIMALAYAN ART BY INTERPRETING AND RELATING IT TO OUR SHARED HUMAN EXPERIENCE TODAY. INSPIRED BY THE TENETS OF BUDDHISM, HINDUISM, AND INDIGENOUS RELIGIONS, AND ALIGNED WITH ONGOING RESEARCH INTO LEARNING, BEHAVIOR, AND THE BRAIN, THE RUBIN OFFERS INNOVATIVE EXHIBITIONS AND PROGRAMS THAT EXAMINE PROVOCATIVE IDEAS ACROSS THE ARTS AND EXPLORE THE MIND. THROUGH THIS WORK, THE MUSEUM SERVES AS A SPACE FOR REFLECTION AND PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION, OPENING WINDOWS TO INNER WORLDS SO VISITORS CAN BETTER NAVIGATE OUTER ONES.
