The experience at the Rubin Museum was both enjoyable and unique. Walking in to the museum, I had never appreciated sound unless it was the pop music that drowned down other people’s conversations on the train ride to school. Starting from the first floor, right next to the source of all the sound, I started to realize how calming sound actually was. Walking down the stairs from all the way at the top allowed me to fully experience distance from sound and its effects on the blissful feeling of just listening.
The Museum also contained many interesting artifacts. There were beautiful pictures and detailed sculptures and knives. Our tour guide was extremely kind and knowledgable. She even brought tiny artifacts and her iPad with her to give us more information. She definitely made the tour more exciting because she was super energetic and informative. The trip was one of my favorite and showed me the importance of sound.
