Daily Rituals: Himalayan Art in Practice May 4, 2007

The Himalayas have been viewed by many as a secret enclave of mystery. Known as the home of Shangri-la and reincarnated llamas, these mountains seem to contain traditions and wisdom that are not easily understood by outsiders. 'Daily Rituals: Himalayan Art in practice,' will dispel some of these misconceptions through a presentation of a select group of objects that have been a part of the daily life of Tibetans and other inhabitants of the Himalayan region. This exhibition will provide a glimpse into the life of laypeople, monks, and gentleman scholars living in the Himalayas from the 12th to the 20th centuries.
