Shortly afer its opening in 2004, the Rubin Museum of Art received a long-term loan of more than one hundred works of art known as the Nyingjei Lam Collection. This collection abounds in exquisite sculpture from the Himalayas and the regions immediately to the south, including works in metal, stone, and bone that have stunning details, inlays of precious materials, and fine inscriptions. Works from the Nyingjei Lam Collection have enriched many of the exhibitions organized from the museum, but this exhibition presents the collection as a whole for the first and only time.
