This houses a collection of beautiful colorful paintings and sculptures from the Himalayan region - India, Tibet, Bhutan. Once you enter the museum the first thing you see is a wonderful Lord Ganesha statue. It is so peaceful inside-especially the shrine room, you will almost forget you are in the bustling New York City. They also have a Mandala Lab. Each and every exhibit is very well explained. They have free Friday evenings and this is also part of Bank of America's free weekends. A must-visit.

I went on their Free Fri DJ nights within their last hour of closing. The music was loud throughout the museum as expected but if you wanted to experience parts of the museum for total enjoyment it was hard to read, listen, and engage in their exhibitions. I’ve been in the Himalayas a couple of times and have deep respect for their art and rich culture. They have done a great job capturing the essence and its appeal, along with the rare treasures they have.
