Starting June 11, the Brooklyn Museum will feature a Tibetan Buddhist shrine room on long-term loan from the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art. This collaboration reflects a significant shift for the Rubin Museum, transitioning to a global "museum without walls" concept, which involves traveling exhibitions and partnerships. The shrine room, designed to replicate a traditional household shrine, includes over 100 Tibetan Buddhist objects, with rotating displays to explore different religious traditions. An immersive atmosphere will enhance the visitor experience, making it a unique cultural offering.
The Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room, one of the institution's most beloved installations, will be on view inside the Brooklyn Museum's Arts of Asia galleries as part of a six-year collaboration.
Designed to evoke a traditional household shrine's look, feel and spirit, the room features more than 100 objects used in Tibetan Buddhist practice, creating an immersive experience.
