Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room: The Alice S. Kandell Collection


  • Minneapolis Institute of Art 2400 3rd Avenue South Minneapolis, MN, 55404 United States (map)

“Tibetan Buddhist Shrine Room: The Alice S. Kandell Collection” includes more than two hundred gilt-bronze sculptures, paintings, silk hangings, and carpets that were created in Tibet between the 1300s and early 1900s. Buddhist ritual objects are displayed in the context of an elaborate private household shrine, a space used for offerings, devotional prayer, rituals, and contemplation. With its flickering candlelight, sonorous chanting, and the subtle smell of incense, the glittering room provides an oasis for peaceful contemplation within the galleries at Mia.
