Nepalese Art at The Rubin
The importance of Nepal as a rich and historic source for sacred Buddhist and Hindu art is reflected in the more than six hundred Nepalese objects in the Rubin Museum’s collection. Presented here is a small selection of our Nepalese art to acknowledge the devastating and destructive natural disaster that struck the country in late April. Works of art from Nepal are more fully represented in our exhibitions and galleries, as well as in the Museum’s lobby where we are highlighting works from Nepal in a special installation.
Nepalese Seasons: Rain and Ritual
Featuring almost fifty objects from the Rubin Museum’s premiere collection of Nepalese art and select loans, Nepalese Seasons: Rain and Ritual illustrates the enduring manifestation of rituals, agrarian festivals, and the natural environment in the art of Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley.
