Death is Not the End
March 17, 2023–January 14, 2024
Curated by Elena Pakhoutova, Senior Curator of Himalayan Art
Death Is Not the End explores ideas about death and afterlife through the art of Tibetan Buddhism and Christianity by bringing together objects from the Rubin Museum’s collection with loans from major institutions and private collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Morgan Library & Museum, Museum aan de Stroom in Antwerp, Wellcome Collection in London, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, San Antonio Museum of Art, and more. With over fifty objects spanning the ninth to twenty-first century, including prints, oil paintings, illuminated manuscripts, bone ornaments, thangka paintings, sculptures, and ritual items, Death Is Not the End invites contemplation on the universal condition of impermanence and the human desire to continue to exist.

Project Himalayan Art
Now available!
This monumental initiative, which is now live, is the first project of its kind to offer comprehensive, introductory resources for learning about Himalayan art, with a focus on the cross-cultural exchange of Tibetan, Himalayan, and Inner Asian art and cultures. It features an expansive digital platform, traveling exhibition to university museums, and a cross-disciplinary publication featuring essays from 72 international scholars. The new digital platform is a hub to dive into the world of Himalayan art, including for students, teachers, scholars, or visitors looking to expand their understanding of Himalayan art and cultures. It features materials from the traveling exhibition, which opened this month at its first venue, Lehigh University Art Galleries, 108 object essays from the publication (available to pre-order today), videos, 360-degree object views, an interactive map, a glossary of hundreds of definitions, over 1,000 object images, and much more!
