Celebrate Asia Week New York and the launch of the Rubin Museum’s largest institutional project to date, Project Himalayan Art, with an evening filled with delicious cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, conversation, and a presentation from Rubin Museum Executive Director Jorrit Britschgi and curators Karl Debreczeny and Elena Pakhoutova.

Project Himalayan Art 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. Jorrit, Karl, and Elena will introduce the initiative with stories from select objects. Together they will demonstrate how these objects invite broader thinking about Himalayan art beyond established categories, and the importance of Himalayan cultures for understanding Asian art.

The new user-friendly digital platform will be presented with its rich resources, including an interactive map and over 1,000 images, which will benefit anyone seeking a more nuanced understanding of Himalayan Art.
