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?
