The Rubin Museum of Art proposes Virtual Gateway to Himalayan Art and Cultures, an intensive virtual one-week Summer Institute that will introduce 30-35 higher education faculty to Himalayan art and cultural traditions that connect with East Asian, South and Inner-Asian cultures and humanities subjects of study. This workshop-style training over six days from June 16 – July 2, 2025 will provide higher education faculty with the tools to incorporate Himalayan art and cultures into their wider curriculum of Asian studies.
