Flaten Art Museum Gateway to Himalayan Art Educator Workshop

Faculty and staff educators are invited to a private curator’s tour of the Gateway to Himalayan Art exhibition, followed by a catered lunch in The Link. The exhibition will open to all on September 12, 2025.

Register here by September 8, 2025.

Gateway to Himalayan Art introduces the main forms, concepts, meanings, and religious traditions of Himalayan art with objects from the collection of the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art, New York. A large multimedia map at the start of the exhibition orients visitors to the greater Himalayan region, which encompasses Indian, Nepalese, Bhutanese, and Tibetan cultures as well as interrelated Mongolian and Chinese traditions. Gateway to Himalayan Art invites exploration of these diverse cultural spheres through exemplary objects presented in three thematic sections: Symbols and Meanings, Materials and Technologies, and Living Practices. It also includes voices from Himalayan artists and contemporaries, along with connections to related digital content to learn more.
