Painting Masterworks of the Newark Museum of Art

The Newark Museum's collection of Tibetan art numbers over 5,000 objects. Beginning in 1911 (and continuing until the 1940s) medical missionaries transferred remarkable items from along the Sino-Tibetan border to the Museum. Paintings, sculptures, ritual objects, fine textiles, documentary photographs and decorative arts are featured in the galleries through such themes as the Tibet Information Zone - an interactive, educational resource for individuals and families on Tibetan life and culture - as well as the Chapel of the Masters; Chapel of Fierce Protectors; Pure Lands and Paradises and three galleries devoted to the arts of Tibetan secular life.
