Bảo tàng Rubin ở New York sẽ đóng cửa sau hai thập kỷ trưng bày nghệ thuật từ vùng Himalaya.

-----

The Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan will shutter (đóng cửa) after two decades of championing (bảo vệ, xiển dương, giương cao ngọn cờ) its prized (quý giá) collection of art from Himalayan Asia, with leaders saying on Wednesday that they wanted to envision (hình dung) a modern museum without walls. But the museum, which will sell its building, had also faced some financial challenges in recent years.

Doors to the Rubin Museum will close Oct. 6, when its last exhibition ends, before transitioning into an institution (tổ chức) that will focus on traveling exhibitions and long-term loans. Nearly 40 percent of its employees will lose their jobs; the museum’s leader, Jorrit Britschgi, had eliminated nearly two dozen positions in 2019 to cut costs.

“The definition of what a museum is has evolved dramatically in recent years,” Noah Dorsky, the museum’s board president (chủ tịch hội đồng quản trị), said in a statement. “Historically, the Rubin’s culture embraces (bao gồm) continual (liên tục) change and evolution (tiến hóa), and in our new incarnation, we are redefining what a museum can be.”
