art and you

The Rubin is going global! We're closing the 17th Street building on October 6, 2024, to bring you traveling exhibitions, participatory experiences, educational and research initiatives, artist grants, digital programs, and more. 

Our cherished supporters are key to this next chapter and will receive details about the new program in October. Current benefits are available until October 6, 2024. Memberships active at that time will automatically roll over into our new program at no extra cost. Stay tuned! 

Membership fuels the Rubin's mission to advance the appreciation and understanding of Himalayan art and helps shape our future. As a thank you for your critical support and to celebrate our 20th anniversary, we are offering a 20% discount on all membership levels and an increased shop discount of 20%. Members receive free admission to all our exhibitions, free weekly meditation sessions, exclusive content, program and shop discounts, and more!
