Enjoy the sounds of the tabla, tanpura, and flute in the galleries, or
stop by the museum's theater to see works come to life as dancers recreate the
poses seen in sculptures from India.
Families can create a drum inspired by
the rhythmic movements in the sculptures. Challenge a friend to a
game of chess (a game invented by Buddhist monastics in Asia) in the galleries and garden.
Enjoy the many flavors of India
with special treats available for purchase in the Garden Café.
