The Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art is proud to share its celebrated collection with museums and institutions across the globe to facilitate a broader understanding of the arts of Asia. Our long-term artwork loans expand access to the collection, providing opportunities for more people to learn about and experience the art and cultures of the greater Himalayan region.
