Exhibitions at RMA

RMA presents exhibitions drawn from its permanent collection as well as major international traveling shows, often featuring treasures never previously loaned to a museum in the United States. Exhibition themes range from female buddhas to divine madness, flying mystics to the origins of ancient Himalayan religions. The museum’s collection includes Himalayan paintings, sculpture, textiles, ritual objects, and prints spanning a period from the 2nd to the 21st century. The museum also features exhibitions of historical and contemporary photography focused on the Himalayas. The fundamental aim of RMA is to provide opportunities for visitors to explore and understand the artistic legacy of the Himalayan region and its place in the context of world and contemporary cultures.
