Friends of the Rubin Evening: Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room

Friends of the Rubin are invited to a special evening celebrating the Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room (opening June 11, 2025), an installation presenting more than 100 artworks and ritual objects as they would be displayed in an elaborate household shrine. A lamplit sanctuary amid the bustle of Brooklyn—and a refuge in uncertain times—the Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room is a place to learn, reflect, and seek inspiration. Attendees will have private access to the Shrine Room and Arts of Asia galleries, and Rubin and Brooklyn Museum curators will be in attendance to offer insights into the works on view.

This free event is open to Friends of the Rubin and Brooklyn Museum Members in recognition of our shared commitment to showcasing the Shrine Room. Registration is required. Last entry is 8:30 PM.
