This is the story of a wealthy couple, Donald and Shelley Rubin, passionate about Himalayan art they collect from the early 70”s and decided to approach the second millennium to create a museum. Opened in 2004, the first museum dedicated to Western art almost unknown. It is in the heart of Chelsea is that this small institution (just over 2000 square feet of exhibitions for 190,000 annual visitors). Currently five exhibitions are scheduled through photographs, paintings, prints and religious objects. So a nice alternative to classic MOMA, Guggenheim and other MET. The coffee shop can sample some Himalayan specialties at prices very good.
