Art student examines Vishnu statue (NS) |
Join us at the Norton Simon Museum of [Buddhist] Art for
an enchanting evening exploring the museum’s Indian art collection.
Take
an artful meditation tour of select works in the collection or learn
tips on meditation in a drop-in session in the Asian Sculpture Garden.
Avalokita, Shakyamuni, Maitreya |
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.
