The Rubin Museum of Art (RMA) is a cultural and educational institution dedicated to the art of the Himalayas. The RMA collection consists of paintings, sculptures, and textiles. Although works of art range in date over two millennia, most reflect major periods and schools of Himalayan art from the 12th century onward.


The exhibitions are organized with particular care to assist viewers who are new to Himalayan art. Wall texts and interpretive panels supply aesthetic, social, and historical perspectives to both scholars and casual viewers.


CURRENT EXHIBITIONS:

What Is It?
February 4, 2009 - February 4, 2013

Himalayan art is new terrain for many people. This exhibition is intended to serve as a guide through this exhilarating landscape. It is organized into four sections, each addressing one of four basic questions about Himalayan art.


Nagas:Hill People of India

Residing in the low Himalayan hills of northeastern India and Myanmar (Burma), the Nagas are a people faced with both tradition and transition. This very diverse community is divided into a number of tribes and sub-tribes and speaks as many as 30 different languages.


From the Land of the Gods
March 14, 2008 - March 14, 2010

This exhibition features the finest examples of Nepalese art from the RMA collection, highlighting the variety of forms and subjects, techniques and media that emerged from the creative matrix of the Kathmandu Valley.

Would you like to join me for cocktails at the Met Rooftop Sculpture Garden this Friday at 6pm?

If it rains that evening, we'll explore the new American Wing of the museum instead, prior to walking across the park at sunset (8pm) for an 8:30pm family-style dinner on the Upper West Side.

I live in Danbury, so if you are in this area we could share a ride or take the train together or meet at the museum at 5.45pm.

No charge for the Cocktails and the dinner will be moderately priced. There is a possibility to join up with another small group (I do not know any of them but I got this plan from their event) there if we like or keep going on our own.
