A Gem of a Museum

The great advantage of living in New York are the many museums and art galleries featuring art through the ages from prehistoric to the latest in contemporary pieces.  Most of us are familiar with the major institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim and the Museum of Modern Art.  However, there are some small gems and the other day I discovered one of them.

The Rubin Museum of Art rmanyc.org located on 17th. Street between 6th. and 7th. avenue is a museum devoted to Himalayan art with many works from Tibet, China, and India.  It is a beautiful museum occupying 5 floors with changing exhibits.  One can view the many unique sculptures, paintings, wall hangings etc. without any crowds hovering close by.  I look forward to returning there and highly recommend it.
