COLLECTION AND SCHOLARSHIP The Rubin is a collecting institution of nearly 4,000 objects spanning 1,500 years from the Himalayan region, including Nepal, Bhutan, India, China, and Mongolia. Our collection research places traditional Himalayan art at the center of global scholarship and societal conversations. We actively seek works of art that will enhance and strengthen the collection, help us present meaningful exhibitions that resonate with our visitors, provide additional learning and research opportunities for scholars, and represent the rich and varied traditions of Himalayan art. In 2020, two objects were accessioned, and five collection objects were on loan to two institutions.
