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!

This houses a collection of beautiful colorful paintings and sculptures from the Himalayan region - India, Tibet, Bhutan. Once you enter the museum the first thing you see is a wonderful Lord Ganesha statue. It is so peaceful inside-especially the shrine room, you will almost forget you are in the bustling New York City. They also have a Mandala Lab. Each and every exhibit is very well explained. They have free Friday evenings and this is also part of Bank of America's free weekends. A must-visit.

I went on their Free Fri DJ nights within their last hour of closing. The music was loud throughout the museum as expected but if you wanted to experience parts of the museum for total enjoyment it was hard to read, listen, and engage in their exhibitions. I’ve been in the Himalayas a couple of times and have deep respect for their art and rich culture. They have done a great job capturing the essence and its appeal, along with the rare treasures they have.

I loved my experience at this museum! It has both ancien works of art and a section of contemporary works. It is neither too big nor too small. In fact, it is just the right size for you to visit and leave satisfied, without getting tired. I have been there three times and I try to go back every time I go to New York.

Beautiful, contemplative art museum. Himalayan Buddhist art adorns the walls, including gorgeous tapestries from over 500 years ago. The second floor is more interactive, providing Buddhist lessons alerting one to the transience of existence and shaking one from complacency and habit. There is an elegant gong to strike, hanging over placid water. Note, sadly, that the cafe was inexplicably still closed as of my visit.

This place is so cool. There is a tibetan shrine in the 4th floor, perfect for mediation. The Himalayan art collection is very unique with pieces from India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and other countries

The museum was a very unique experience and I learned a lot about Tibetan Art ( it’s influence on its neighbors ) , Buddhism and Hinduism . The vibes in the museum were very peaceful and my favorite was the smell exhibit and Himalayan art. It’s definitely worth a visit.

Great museum! Love the sculptures and blend of classic and modern works along with the scent display. My six year old loved the gongs and scent sequences- I love that it encouraged my autistic child to read and write in a non-academic setting. Your security and docents were great with my kid, especially the black bald guy on the second floor working on Friday night 1/20.

The Rubin Museum of Art offers many beautiful works of art and wonderful interactive exhibitions with plenty of informative and instructional information to allow the guest to truly understand what they are experiencing. One of the highlights of my visit was the exhibit the allows guests to strike various gongs and then lower them into a pool of water. Each gong was specifically designed by various artists. After striking and lowering the gong designed by Peter Gabriel, the sound is reminiscent of the deep sea calls of whales.

A hidden gem in Manhattan. Our daughter found out that it has free admission on Fridays. So we went there to check it out. A beautiful collection of Arts and mostly sculptures from Tibetan plateau, Nepal and India. Very well organised portrayals of Buddhism in that Himalayan region and influence of Hinduism on it. Thought provoking, serene and very peaceful. Must see
