In New York City, Himalayan Museum Responds to Nepal Quake with ExhibitsWhen a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on April 25, world attention focused largely on the Himalayan country, where over 7,500 Nepalis were killed and untold numbers were injured or made homeless.While international relief efforts took many forms, in New York, the Rubin Museum of Art, a major Himalayan arts center, began working to raise awareness of Nepal's cultural heritage and its ongoing plight.Located 12,000 kilometers away from Nepal, Executive Director Patrick Sears says the Rubin bridges the gulf by showcasing Himalayan arts and ideas, and the region's ties to other cultures."We are far away but we're also very close," he says.Sears hopes that people in the U.S. and around the world will engage with the Nepali artifacts online and perhaps come to the museum to see the selection
