Celebrate the opening of the exhibition Shrine Room Projects: Wishes and Offerings with free admission and activities throughout the Museum.

In the exhibition, two contemporary installations by artists Tsherin Sherpa and Charwei Tsai reflect sacred sites, objects, and practices, complementing the Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room located at the center of the gallery.
