ALWAYS start on the second floor (FL 2). The entire floor is a nice simple tutorial, with examples, of the culture, context, technique, symbolism, and history related to all the art you will see.

Perhaps one of my favorite places in NYC. I prefer when they don’t have a DJ and I’m able to soak in the art and enjoy the meditation room.

The Friday lounge is exceptionally alluring. Happy Hour 6-7pm with a tour . The food wasn't all that bad. The duck braised momo is a must try to expedience nepalese food.

I did the mindful meditation on Wednesday which was just worth coming to. The museum this summer is really small and targeted towards Tibetan Buddhism.

A good option if you want to see something different from the met or moma. Very friendly and informative staff

Merve Öngören Constantini

I loved the museum ...and at the shop u can find some unique things

Alan Cordova

Friday openings draw a swanky high art crowd; as long as you don't need silence to appreciate a painting you get the best of both worlds: an interesting crowd and interesting exhibits .

Kimberly James

Friday nights at the Ruben . 2-4-1 drinks from 6-7p and free admission to the museum until 10p.

Gary J

Their Friday nights are the time to visit. I learned that fear is flamed by ignorance and is conquered through wisdom as symbolized by a gold statue with many arms each holding a different utensil.

Diana Pardue

Great jazz series on Friday evenings - enjoy the cafe before or after the concert !

Flavorpill

Full bar (K2 lounge ). And movies are free some nights if you get $7 in drinks, but get there a little ahead of time as it fills up fast.

The Himalayan art displayed is amazing, and the way the museum is designed makes it easy to go through.
