Rubin Museum of Art

When I was a kid I was jealous of the kids who went to one of the other elementary schools in town because they had an awesome carnival. I was kind of a wimp about carnival rides, so the most intense ride that I would go on was called the Himalaya. All it did was spin you around kind of fast. While the painting on the ride was certainly accurate to the name, I’m not sure that it was a very good representation of Himalayan culture. The Rubin Museum of Art in New York, NY is. It’s “a dynamic environment that stimulates learning, promotes understanding, and inspires personal connections to the ideas, cultures, and art of Himalayan Asia.” It also won’t make you nauseous like the ride might.

It’s hard for me to describe a museum that I’ve never visited, so I recommend that you watch this video to get a sense of what the Rubin Museum of Art has to offer:

After watching the video, you’ll probably want to check out the Rubin Museum of Art’s Exhibitions, Programs, and Collection. If you like what you see, then it’s time to visit the Rubin Museum of Art’s Careers page. Right now they’re looking for a Visual Experience Associate and an Assistant Graphic Designer/Production Coordinator, and both jobs look like they could be a good fit for a new or recent grad.
