For visitors new to Himalayan art and those already familiar with its iconography and expression, a Highlights tour provides a survey of the museum's collection, with varying themes offered each day. Sample tours include Ornamentation in Himalayan Art, The Bodhisattva: The Savior Figure in Himalayan Art, and Objects and Obstacles in Himalayan Art.
Buddha Families refer to Buddha-nature, or traits that are innate in each of us. Many of these traits are crucial in understanding the nature of tantric Buddhist art. During this one hour gallery talk, learn about the Buddha Families and how they relate to paintings and sculptures from the Himalayan region.
