Tibet

Art of the People from the Rooftop of the World
On View

Mar 3 - Jun 2, 1991

Curated By

Martha Longenecker and Cornelia Feye

This exhibition was installed in three sections: religious—with a recreated altar; monastic—including ritual instruments; and nomadic—with costumes and a traditional appliquéd tent. Tibetan monks from the Namgyal Monastery in Dharamsala created a Kalachakra sand mandala within the museum. Illustrated lectures, a Tibetan film festival and a performance by a Tibetan dance and opera troupe accompanied the exhibition.
