Lonely Planet review

One of the newest museums in the city, the Rubin, opened in 2004. It's the first museum in the Western world dedicating itself to art of the Himalayas and surrounding regions. Impressive collections include embroidered textiles from China, metal sculptures from Tibet, Pakistani stone sculptures, intricate Bhutanese paintings and ritual objects and dance masks from various Tibetan regions, spanning from the 2nd to 19th centuries.
