Event Location:
Seattle Asian Art Museum

Event body text:

The exhibition Discovering Buddhist Art - Seeking the Sublime returns to the Seattle Asian Art Museum, installed in new rooms and made more comprehensive by the inclusion of Chinese works, allowing visitors a greater understanding of Asian Buddhist art. Approximately 90 pieces of sculpture, painting, ritual implements and textiles illustrate the spectacular development of Buddhist arts from India, China, Tibet, Korea, Thailand and Japan and trace the influence of indigenous artistic styles and materials over 2,200 years. Intended for a wide audience, Discovering Buddhist Art promises to be more than an introduction and is designed to evoke new views and stimulate appreciation for the art and material culture of one of the world's most widespread religions.
