Indepth Arts News: "The Mystical Arts of Tibet" 2000-11-17 until 2001-01-14 Bayly Art Museum Charlottesville, VA, USA
The exhibition brings together 108 traditional art objects, including 23 exquisite watercolor tangka paintings,
more than a dozen ancient bronze statues, numerous ritual objects made of gilded silver and bronze, and a set of
temple musical instruments. Many of these are sacred objects in the collection of H.H. the Dalai Lama or ancient
artifacts from Drepung Loseling, Tibetís largest and most prestigious monastery. Supplementing the exhibition
are color photographs of Tibet and objects made by Tibetan refugees in India and Nepal
The Museum has also invited monks from Drepung Loseling to create a sand mandala in the Museum.
Between November 28 and December 3, visitors are invited to see the mandala take shape and be destroyed - an
act of devotion and attention whose ephemerality is central to Buddhist dharma. Accommodations for the monks
have been generously provided by the local Tibetan community.
