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.
