Masterworks of Himalayan Art
February 10, 2016 – February 6, 2017 - Masterworks, a regularly changing exhibition at the Rubin, explores major strands in the development of Himalayan art, covering a period of over 1,000 years, and presents regional artistic traditions in their broad cultural, geographic, historical, and stylistic contexts.
A special area of the exhibition will include a large interactive exploration of the 1846 pilgrimage map, allowing visitors to go on a virtual pilgrimage to Mount Wutai, believed to be the earthly abode of the bodhisattva of wisdom Manjushri. This includes not only a detailed exploration of the many monasteries, caves, and miraculous visions depicted in the woodblock print, but also descriptions drawn from Chinese and Tibetan pilgrimage guides and photographs from the sites themselves.
