Item Description

Arrange a tour of the Asian Collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with collection curator and The Art of Buddhism author Denise Leidy. Denise will take the successful bidder on their own insider's tour of one of the country's most extensive collections of Asian art.

Denise has also kindly offered to provide her special guest with a copy of The Art of Buddhism described as "an essential resource for all who seek to understand Buddhist art as teaching." The book documents the spread of Buddhism "from the Indian subcontinent in all directions across Asia" and the influence "on every culture it touched-from Afghanistan to Korea, from Mongolia to Java"; a "visual record of the evolution of Buddhist practice and philosophy over a period of more than two millennia." 

Special Instructions
