À propos de la conférence
One of the ways I came into the study of Tibetan art (and history and religion) was as a young volunteer intern working on the Tibetan Thangka collection at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. In this talk I will introduce this little known collection, and provide some history on how these Tibetan objects came to be in Toronto. The collection now includes sculptures, ritual objects, dance masks, manuscript covers, and paintings. Many of the Thangka paintings came to be in this public Canadian collection in the early twentieth century, and it has grown through private donations since. I will discuss some of the material and historical challenges of displaying and researching these artifacts, and articulate some hopes for its future.
