K2 Tours

Looking to connect with friends or mingle with other visitors? Join an interactive tour of our galleries during K2 Friday Nights when admission is free for all visitors. Led by an expert docent, the tour highlights specific artworks from our current exhibitions, giving you the opportunity to dive in deep through close looking at art and conversation. Whether you’re a Rubin regular or visiting for the first time, we hope to expand your understanding of Himalayan art and cultures by the end of the tour. Tour themes may include Mindfulness, Living Traditions, Stories of Migration, the Role of the Female, Tradition and Technology, and Environmental Sustainability, among others.

Tours meet in the spiral lobby at 7:15 PM and last approximately 30 minutes. Join on your own or bring a friend.
