The Rubin Museum Collection of Himalayan Art 👹 Art For Trying Times ♥️

I really needed the ancient soothing qualities of this art and this beautiful museum. Perfect for a Valentine’s Day treat, for yourself or significant other. ♥️
The Rubin Museum’s preeminent collection of Himalayan art includes approximately 3,400 objects spanning more than 1,500 years to the present day. Included are works of art of great quality and depth from the Tibetan plateau, with examples from related surrounding regions including Nepal, Bhutan, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and Mongolia.
The Himalayas are the highest mountains in the world and form an imposing geographical barrier. This has created a cultural threshold between the region and the other great cultures of Asia, allowing for the flourishing of distinctly Himalayan artistic traditions. The museum’s collection primarily comprises scroll paintings (thangka) and sculptures from the region but also includes masks, textiles, illuminated manuscripts, and other objects.
The Rubin Museum currently features the permanent collection in two remarkable exhibitions. Gateway to Himalayan Art features a wide range of art objects intended to introduce this rich heritage. At this exhibition, visitors can become acquainted with the common visual language of Himalayan art, the materials and techniques used in creating these works, and the principal purposes for producing them. The variety and quality of Himalayan artistic traditions represented in the Rubin Museum’s collection is highlighted in Masterworks: A Journey Through Himalayan Art. This exhibition introduces the main branches and styles of Himalayan art, their resonance and dialogue with neighboring traditions, and major developments over the last millennium.
