Did you attend the Rubin Museum’s Annual Gala and After-party last Thursday? On October 6, Museum supporters, friends, trustees, and staff all turned out to celebrate ten years of the Museum’s Brainwave series at Cipriani 25 Broadway in downtown Manhattan.
The night was filled with gorgeous outfits, unique decorations, and exciting performances. Among the highlights was a special presentation by neuroscientist Dr. Beau Lotto, which used illusions to make attendees question their perceptions—a fitting introduction to Brainwave 2017: Perception, the Museum’s tenth season of the series, beginning in January.
In case you missed it, check out some of our favorite moments from the Gala and After-party below:
1) Agnes Gund and Shelley Rubin arrived in style!
2) Guests mingled during cocktail hour
3) Meanwhile, the tables in the dining hall were set with incredible centerpieces
