Our customized private tour of the Rubin Museum of Art is scheduled for 11:00 AM next Wednesday morning, December 11. The museum is at 150 W. 17th Street (between 6th and 7th Avenues) in Manhattan. Our tour will last approximately one hour.
Photos of most objects are permitted and there is a restaurant on site if you are up for lunch afterwards (sadly the grant cannot treat us to eats though). Let me know if you have any questions!
According to Mary Sue, our guide will be Harry Einhorn. Here’s a link to a video of him giving a brief outline of the Mahabodhi Temple, the complex with the Bodhi tree under which Siddhartha Gautama achieved enlightenment (after 3 days and 3 nights-note the similarities to the magical number 3 in Christianity!) and became Buddha. http://youtu.be/O9tUNPzONtg
Now I really want to go to that temple.
Cannot wait to meet Harry!
