Journeys to Divinity

As Tibetan and Indian monks regularly crisscrossed the Himalayas in the twelfth century, a great exchange of ideas, texts, and devotional works of art began to reshape Tibet’s complex religious landscape. In this talk, Met curator Kurt Behrendt explores the art that emerged from the Buddhist communities on the vast flood plains of the Ganges River. He also discusses how contemporary Tibetan artists continue to weave their creative vision into reality.
