The Rubin Museum of Art in Chelsea, New York City is a museum and global platform that explores and celebrates the diversity and uniqueness of Himalayan art, ideas and cultures across history and into the present.

Through Himalayan art, cultures, and ideas, the Rubin serves as a guidepost to examine big questions of what it means to be human today with the intent of creating a more compassionate and resilient world. 

With its globally renowned collection, largely centered around art from the Tibetan Plateau, the Rubin fosters understanding and appreciation of this extraordinary region by connecting its art and ideas to contemporary issues that are relevant in our visitors’ lives today.
