The Rubin is one of my favorite museums in the city. There are usually not many people there on weekdays, and on Fridays they stay open late. I particularly enjoy visiting the meditation room and temple. The architecture is also amazing.
Really great museum tucked away in Chelsea. I was really pleased with the entire museum and thought that everything was displayed in a way that was incredibly flattering to the art itself as well as to the building as a whole. The museum is all centered around a beautiful staircase that spirals up the center of the building. There were a great amount of interactive exhibits and some very helpful staff!
This 6 story spiral museum focuses on Himalayan art. The exhibits are amazing and balance interactive exhibits that focus on concepts of Buddhism and historical art. The exhibit comparing Christian concepts of the afterlife to the afterlife in Buddhism was stunning. You can spend a few hours here and it is well worth the visit and the admission price.
I spent 1.5 hours in this museum but I think a good amount of time to see everything would be 2 hours. We had to leave before because the museum was closing. Anyway, I really learn a lot about the Hindu art, meaning and techniques of art. I definitely recommend this museum. I did not pay for entrance because you can get one free ticket through the cultural pass with you NY library card.
Beautiful space, interesting history of the building, beautiful staircase, sculptures and paintings gives the space zen vibes. The cafe is quite serene, plenty of space, peaceful music, nice selection of treats. Interesting selection of Himalayan and Tibet Buddhism art; including Nepal, India, China. The Mandala Lab is a casually fun experience, enjoy the bongs, let go of your anger.
Beautiful museum with an interesting design that takes you through several floors with a winding staircase. Elevator is also available with benchs in front of elaborate paintings and sculptures allowing vistors to spend time admiring them. The shop also is worth checking out. It has interesting items and coffee shop as well.Visited onWeekendWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30
Very cool and fun museum on the topic of Himalayan religions and culture. I love the interactive floor with art pieces and experiments! You need at least 2 hours to go through most of it. If you are short online I highly recommend the interactive floor. Sometimes they have pay as you want entrance.
Absoulutely amazing museum with a huge collection of Himalayan and Tibetian art and lots of history.
The Rubin Museum is truly a beautiful place that houses a collection of art from the Himalayan region. The sculptures and other artifacts are magnificent. I came in on a Thursday and was able to participate in the mindfulness meditation session which was lovely. The Mandala Lab is an absolute must see and a sensory experience very much unique to the museum. For $19 a ticket including the meditation the Rubin is well worth a visit. They also offer a delicious lunch that is provided at an additional charge. I highly recommend this. The Rubin is truly a wonderful museum that everyone should visit!
I’ve been in NYC for years but I did not know about this museum. It was totally beyond expectation. Love the concepts it was showing and the ideas they are expressing. Glad I discovered the place.Visited onWeekendWait time30–60 minReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
