The Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art promotes awareness, cultivates learning and understanding, and fosters meaningful connections to the art of Tibetan, Himalayan, and related Inner Asian cultural regions.
We preserve, research, and share our collection, and create dynamic exhibitions and resources for communities and partners around the world.
Boldness
We recognize that change is constant and therefore welcome innovation, taking risks, rethinking norms, and being adaptable in pursuit of our mission.
Collaboration
We foster mutually rewarding relationships among staff, partners, and the people in our communities in which collaborators are supported and empowered in their activities.
Insightfulness
We offer opportunities for people to learn and gain new insights and perspectives about Himalayan art and cultures, themselves, and the world.
Compassion
We put empathy in action by being open and accessible to all and cultivating awareness and the skills for compassion.
Integrity
We demonstrate accountability and a commitment to the objects in the collection and people who created them by acting in alignment with our values and mission.
