Honoring NepalA Special Installation

The importance of Nepal as a rich and historic source for sacred Buddhist and Hindu art is reflected in the more than six hundred Nepalese objects in the Rubin Museum’s collection. Honoring Nepal is a special installation of a small selection of the Rubin’s Nepalese art to acknowledge the devastating and destructive natural disaster that struck the country in late April 2015. Throughout the Rubin’s galleries, objects of Nepalese origin are highlighted with the label #HonorNepal, showcasing their significance in the collection and providing context for visitors.
