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, New York

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.
