Pequeno museum mas muito interessante. O piso das áreas de meditação e na minha opinião o mais estimulante . O museu pode parecer super apertado se estiver muita gente o q torna a experiência não tão boa. Também acho um pouco caro se for nos dias normais . Sexta ao fim do dia e grátis e tem uma boa happy hour também! Certa de 1 hora e 40 minutos para visitar e suficiente .

Muy lindo museo, el edificio es impecable, con esa escalera circular central que se roba todo el protagonismo. Las obras muy interesantes si te gusta el arte del Himalaya, India y regiones cercanas. Tiene obras antiguas y contemporáneas.

I have visited the Rubin many times and always enjoyed my time there. It is a small and very manageable but lovely well curated museum. This past Friday was easily the best time. The museum is now hosting "K2 Friday Nights" where admission is free, there is a DJ and easily the best happy hour in the city - 2 for 1 on beer wine and wells from 6-7. Meaning, I had 2 glasses of sparkling rose for $10. The current exhibition is also really cool. It is called world of sound and has many auditory components.

Вход 15$. А по пятницам после 16 или 18 и до 22 вход бесплатный. Поскольку мы постоянно то в Непале, то в Тибете - решили что внутрь не пойдем :) И ограничились фотосессией в холле с большой маской и поющей чашей :)

Imagine a museum devoted to all things Buddhism. What a joy. The sense of peace simply radiated off the walls and those that were present brought such a high level of energy that I was high the entire visit. The museum is light in its feel. You sense that from the moment you cross the threshold and are bathed in reverence of the universe. There is a cafe which serves some pretty darn good food, there is a bar that serves drinks along with a bookstore. Loved it.

This is a niche museum dedicated to the art of the Himalayans and especially Tibet. If youre inclined that way you will love this place, because the space is beautiful and the art is amazing. If you have no particular interest in this kind of work, there are other museums you might find more enjoyable. And if youre socially inclined, think about going later in the day to take advantage of their well-stocked (though not very well-priced) bar or one of their screenings.

If youre into art history or just something new to do, this is the place to come. The artwork is beautiful and detailed and it really tells you a lot about the Buddhist history and religion. On the very top floor they have a meditation room so you can have a peace of mind. Occasionally on the weekends they have a small violinist group that compliments the atmosphere of the museum. They also have a dinning area that you can sit and eat there and have a splendid time.

I attended the K2 Lounge event, which is every Friday. There was a DJ spinning nice music and it was free to view the art from 6 p.m.-10 p.m. We got there around 7:30, and that was plenty of time. A bar was set up ($10 for mixed drinks; $10-12 for a small glass of wine; $14 for cocktails, but at least the drinks were strong). The tapas looked very appetizing (dumplings, mini pizzas, etc.) and seemed reasonably priced, but I didnt have any food.

The Rubin museum, the jewel of Chelsea, is a wonderful place to visit and explore. The exhibits range and vary between Indian to Native Populations across the world. The atmosphere on Friday is festive with a happy hour and free entrance into the museum. Museum lovers will enjoy interactions with the staff, their knowledge of artifacts and their sincerity and love for the museum itself. This crown jewel is worth taking a look for any occassion.

I did not have enough time to spend there, but thoroughly enjoyed their exhibits showing how the bronze statues have been made for 1000 years, and how the Himalayan buddhist iconographic paintings are canonically laid out (for example, those fierce-looking trolls in the foreground are protectors). An explainer of prayer wheels and "merit" gives me a better picture of how a reincarnationist karma reward system might influence peoples behavior.

I liked being surrounded by the art at the Rubin. I felt it to be a sensual experience. The colors and the feelings went together. The Asian art was thrilling. It was nice that the museum was free on Friday nights gathering young adults to view art and experience it. There was also a nice bar available. I thought the drinks were heavy on price and not the best I ever had but it was still fun to have a bar in a museum!

古根海姆博物馆和大都会博物馆有几件事需向鲁宾学习。私密的空间，完全点亮的杰作，方便靠近。崭新的祈祷的房间是精心的安排的而且更加开放，但是不再那么私密。这是任何一个来到纽约的游客都会去参观的博物馆。

Superb photos. The photographer through his photos has truely captured the village lives of the Naga people. I say this with conviction because I am a naga myself. The picture of the Bus with the burning jhum field is truely amazing. The Picture of the Konyak Angh (chief) is spectacular, I wonder is this the Angh of Chui village? if so he died just last week but his memory lives on through photos like this.

i love this museum and am glad i will be attending an afterschool program they will host. all religion aside, rubin museum sure has attention to detail and is full of wonders. no matter your background or preference, this museum is refreshing and i definitely recommend to everyone to see the intricate artwork inside! check on their website for workshops,teen nights, paid internships, and free programs!

Absolutely fantastic exhibit. This is a museum that specializes in Himalayan art. The building itself is interesting. Start at the top floor and work your way down. You;d find lectures being given, discussions held, and live demonstrations. Its a very Zen space and you will be peering at the art to see all the details. There is a movie theater at the bottom and a bar which seems to be very hip.

I stopped by here just for the lounge for a friends birthday party. The atmosphere was nice and as expected considering it was inside a museum. The drinks were overpriced ($20 + tip for a gimlet and a bottled beer) but the cocktails were well made. As for the food, I only tried the pizza, and it really did taste like something coming out of an oven. Id make sure to eat somewhere else.

Being Me Happiness

I am a member to this museum. It is one of the most remarkable museums. Their Friday nights packed. The lounge area encouraging socializing. This museum covers history, anthropology, East Asia and also educated me more about catholicism in Europe more than any other institutions. It is well rounded and supports their main objective, the culture of Tibet. Shrine room is awesome.

Amazing. I am pretty new to the museum scene, but this one was instantly a favorite. The layout is really nice and has a natural flow that is easy to follow. Placards next to the artwork/artifacts explains the historical context surrounding the piece and then a separate paragraph describes whats going on in the piece itself. The cafe has some delicious lunch selections!

Great front windows, wonderful stairwell, inviting snack bar and gift shop...The employees didnt bother to tell me there was a free tour starting in 10 minutes, so I bought the audio docent. The collection is impressive but the audio docent was dry as burnt toast. Displays manage to subdue vibrant art. These days museums must be more than fine art on dark walls.
