Description
Nestled on a serene hillside on Staten Island, New York, the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art is a well-known, yet infrequently visited museum designed like a small mountain temple in the Himalayas. Treasures of Tibetan Art is a unique catalogue of the most important works from this renowned collection. The text represents a collaboration between Western and Tibetan scholars. Essays by Barbara Lipton, the museum's director and curator, and Donald S. Lopez, Jr., noted scholar, relate the history of the museum and provide an overview of the nature of Tibetan Buddhism. Beautifully illustrated with 190 photographs (including eighty-one full-color plates) this extraordinary volume presents many of the museum's holdings for the first time.
