This exhibition highlights the Museum’s small collection of Buddhist art, most of which originates from East Asia. Featuring sculpture, calligraphy, painting, photography, and more, the exhibition explores diverse expressions of Buddhist visual culture in this region from the 6th to 21st centuries. Some of the Museum’s rarest works of sacred art, such as precious sutra fragments and representations of the Buddha and bodhisattvas, are joined by secular works on Buddhist themes from the twentieth century and recent work by living artists.
