Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art

The Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art is a global museum dedicated to presenting Himalayan art and its insights. It was founded in 2004 as a haven for Himalayan art in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. After 20 years, on October 6, 2024, the Rubin closed its physical location on 17th Street to embark on its next chapter as a global museum. Today the Museum has evolved to serve people across the globe, through exhibitions, participatory experiences, a dynamic digital platform, and partnerships. Inspired and informed by Himalayan art, the Rubin invites people to contemplate the human experience and deepen connections with the world around them to expand awareness, enhance well-being, and cultivate compassion. rubinmuseum.org
