Well the museum first off was pretty small it only had 5 floors. The museum itself fetured mostly Asian art from places like Tibet , India, China, even Japan I think(though there wasnt much from japan). The art itself was also mostly about religion, featuring statues,maskes,and paintings of varoius gods and deities;There were also stues dipicting important figures like women or animals(like a dog) which were made out of respect for their place in society and the duties which they had . Under each one there was some context about the god. Along with many religion basec art there was also what i guess was contemporary art. One artist (whose last named I cant remmeber) , Anne had photographic art in the musuem. For instance there was a a piece that depicted melting ice, which represented fluid in motion. There was also what looked like a row of rice filled plates in the musuem I didnt really stop to check what that was about but it did strange, kinda interesting too. I didnt think it was that the visit was bad although some of the Tibeten names for the god statues were really hard to pronounce( they were really long and filled with vowels and h’s).
