"Installing the Rubin Museum Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room required careful examination of each object. Holding them one-by-one and looking closely revealed so many details. Each figure has a distinct expression. It also made me realize how many individual objects create the experience of the entire room." - Kate Wight Tyler, Conservator, brooklynmuseum 

"It was really heartwarming to work with the Brooklyn Museum team to install the objects. They were curious to learn about the objects as well as the living practices that engage the paintings, sculpture, ritual objects, and decorative items. Each day as the installation progressed, I had this sense of wonder, seeing how the combined efforts of both the Rubin and the Brooklyn Museum teams working together were gradually shaping this new space."- Elena Pakhoutova, Senior Curator, Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art.

Swipe through to explore the behind-the-scenes installation, and read on for reflections from some of the staff who played a role in the new Shrine Room, in our #Spiral article "The Art of Collaboration: Behind the Scenes of the Shrine Room’s Move to Brooklyn" at the 🔗 in our bio or on our website!
