"Emily Auchincloss and Ramon Pratts gave an extraordinary presentation to my class during our recent visit to the Rubin Museum..."

The Rubin Enlightens: from 'The Ticker' at Baruch College

No need to pack your rucksack. Put away that hiking pole. You can discover Bhutan, the remote kingdom hidden deep in the Himalayas, with just a short trek over to 17th street.

About Us

RMA has recently introduced a steeply discounted college student admission fee of $2 with college I.D. Admission provides access to the RMA’s six floors of changing exhibitions and an array of engaging public programs (additional fees are required for some programs). Admission is free to everyone every Friday night, 7:00-10:00 p.m. While this in itself is a rich opportunity, it is but a beginning!

For CUNY students, faculty, and staff, the collaborative possibilities with RMA are limited only by imaginative capacity. Driven by the concept that a love of learning and knowledge of other cultures is essential for our global society, RMA encourages inquiry and dialogue—and is eager to hear your ideas!

Suspect that there’s a connection between issues in criminal justice and the aspects of human nature expressed through Tibetan art? Or a link between neuroscience and mandalas? Ever attend a poetry workshop in the presence of bodhisattvas? Perhaps now you will. Explore this site. Be inspired. Make the connection. Make it happen.
