The Rubin Museum of Art is dedicated to sharing Himalayan art and cultures with the world. Founded in 2004, the Rubin serves people locally, nationally, and internationally through exhibitions, immersive experiences, digital content and educational resources, and a variety of partnerships. Inspired and informed by Himalayan art, the Rubin invites visitors of all ages to contemplate the human experience and deepen connections with the world around us to expand awareness, enhance well-being, and cultivate compassion.
The Rubin advances scholarship and public engagement through a series of educational initiatives and digital resources, and with the stewardship of a collection of nearly 4,000 Himalayan art objects spanning 1,500 years of history—providing unprecedented access and resources to scholars, artists, students, and the curious public across the globe.
