"Rubin Museum Announces Closure of New York Location, Shifts to Global Model"
TL;DR Summary
The Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan, known for its collection of art from Himalayan Asia, will close its doors on October 6 after 20 years of operation due to financial challenges and accusations of displaying looted art. The museum, which will sell its building, plans to transition to a skeleton crew to process long-term loans and research inquiries. The closure comes amid severe cash crunches faced by leading museums since the Covid-19 pandemic, with the Rubin Museum taking the extreme step of relinquishing all its real estate.
