Members Tour

Join us for complimentary tea in Café Serai followed by an exclusive docent-led tour of our newest exhibition, Reimagine: Himalayan Art Now.

Reimagine is a Museum-wide exhibition that brings together 32 contemporary artists from the Himalayas, Asia, and diaspora to consider how cultural heritage shapes identity. Through a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, sound, video, installation, performance, and more, the artists explore their personal and collective histories and call attention to themes such as the fluidity of identity, spiritual practices, sense of belonging, grief, memory, and reclamation. Contemporary works are presented alongside objects from the Museum’s collection, inviting new ways of encountering traditional Himalayan art.

The tea begins in the café at 12:00 PM and the tour meets at the base of the spiral staircase at 1:00 PM.

Registration is required to attend. To register and for any questions, please email us at membership@rubinmuseum.org.
