The Rubin Museum’s Project Himalayan Art

Discover Project Himalayan Art, a first-of-its kind interdisciplinary resource for learning about Himalayan, Tibetan, and Inner Asian art and cultures from the Rubin Museum of Art. This three part-initiative -digital platform, publication, and traveling exhibition-is designed to support the widespread incorporation of these cultures into undergraduate teaching on Asia. Developed in collaboration with specialists in the field, Project Himalayan Art focuses on cross-cultural exchange with Tibet at the center and Buddhism as the thread that connects the diverse cultural regions.
Hear from the project’s leads, Elena Pakhoutova and Karl Debreczeny, senior curators at the Rubin Museum; Jorrit Britschgi, Executive Director of the Rubin Museum; along with scholars Annabella Piktin, Riga Shakya, and Gautama Vajracharya; as well as students from Lehigh University who share their impressions and experiences working with the material.

About the Rubin Museum of Art:
The Rubin Museum of Art in Chelsea, New York City, explores and celebrates Himalayan art, cultures, and ideas across history and into the present. With its globally renowned collection, centered largely around art from the Tibetan Plateau, the Rubin fosters understanding and appreciation of Himalayan art by interpreting and relating it to our shared human experience today. Inspired by the tenets of Buddhism, Hinduism, and indigenous religions, and aligned with ongoing research into learning, behavior, and the brain, the Rubin offers innovative exhibitions and programs that examine provocative ideas across the arts and explore the mind. Through this work, the Museum serves as a space for reflection and personal transformation, opening windows to inner worlds so visitors can better navigate outer ones.
