The Rubin is transforming. On October 6, 2024, the Rubin will close its 17th Street galleries and transition into a global museum model, continuing to present Himalayan art through traveling exhibitions, digital experiences, and collaborations in the United States, Asia, Europe, and beyond. To mark the transition, join us for a 17th Street Farewell Party and toast to the Rubin’s next chapter. 

• Enjoy free admission, cocktails, live DJ music by DJ Rekha, and a dance party. 

• Visit our 20th-anniversary exhibition, Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now. The Museum-wide exhibition features artworks by over 30 contemporary artists, many from the Himalayan region and diaspora and others inspired by Himalayan art and cultures. The entire Museum is transformed by new commissions and recent works juxtaposed with objects from the Rubin’s collection, inviting new ways of encountering traditional Himalayan art.  The exhibition will travel next to Wrightwood 659 in Chicago, where it will open on November 8, 2024.
