An excellent example of recently updated content available from Himalayan Art Resources is the Bodhisattva image page and associated Eight Great Bodhisattvas subject page, which provides a wealth of information about one of the most common images of Himalayan Buddhism.

The Rubin Museum of Art is an arts and cultural hub in New York City's vibrant Chelsea neighborhood that inspires visitors to make connections between contemporary life and the art and ideas of the Himalayas and neighboring regions including India. With a diverse array of thought-provoking exhibitions and programs—including films, concerts, and on-stage conversations—the Rubin provides immersive experiences that encourage personal discoveries and spark new ways of seeing the world. Emphasizing cross-cultural connections, the Rubin is a space to contemplate ideas that extend across history and span human cultures. The Rubin Museum has a set of fascinating interactive online art with useful descriptions and videos. Take, for example, the educational resource connected with the "All-Knowing Buddha Vairochana" exhibit: Explore cultural connections by clicking on sections of a traditional Tibetan image and learning about what each piece means — you can even listen to examples of the musical instruments depicted in the image.
