I love this place. Small space but expansive inside with gorgeous central staircase. Unpretentious exhibits line the walls throughout. The prayer room is a highlight. Friday night visits are free, with cool house and dance music. Bar and appetizers also on Friday. You must go.
This is a beautiful museum; I feel nothing but peace here. There is an area (don't remember which floor) where there is "OM" being softly played on well placed speakers. I sat in this area for a bit and I nearly cried I don't have a reason why but the sound was just so peaceful. I didn't have none of the NYC noise blasting into my mind. THE WORLD IS SOUND exhibit is really nice, gentle, and relaxing. Wish I could volunteer here part-time. Love this museum.
Great hidden gem. Free and open late on Friday night. Had an himilayian Buddhism and Indian photography show when I went. Had a great in depth description of art and process of creating certain peices in the show. Has similar spiral effect as the Guggenheim. Bookstore and restaurant options as well despite being a smaller gallery.
This was the worst museum I’ve ever been to. There are 6 floors, not many art pieces and most of them are very repetitive. It is not worth $15 a person, even if admission was free I would not recommend this place to anyone. The art is essentially some pictures taken out of a Nationals Geographic magazine but just black and white. The small statues are almost all sitting in the same posistion. Go to any other museum to actually have a good experience.
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.
