Gateway to Himalayan Art and The Tibetan Shrine Room

Rubin Museum of Art

Detail: Marking the third in a series of yearly rotations, nearly twenty works of art add new dimensions and context to Gateway to Himalayan Art. In every iteration, Gateway acquaints new and long-time friends of the museum with the principal concepts of Himalayan art, including important deities and symbols, the materials and techniques used in creating works of art, and the purposes and functions of these works in their sacred and secular contexts.
And don't forget to pick up your Gateway Looking Guide to help you identify important figures and symbols throughout the museum. It's yours to keep.
New to this exhibition are expanded resources including a translation of the audio tour into Spanish, nine verbal description stops for visitors with low vision or who are blind, and new computer interactive experiences featuring works currently on view.
