04. Featured Exhibition
The Masterworks exhibition presents seminal works from the major strands of Himalayan art, drawing mostly from the Museum’s permanent collection and long-term loans. The exhibition is organized geographically, showcasing the the diversity of the art of Tibet over time and in relation to neighboring regions.
