RMA’s serene atmosphere provides visitors with an uncommon opportunity to experience some of the finest examples of Himalayan paintings, sculpture, textiles, ritual objects, and prints from the second century to the present.
The museum’s extensive public programming offers opportunities for cross-cultural exploration through films, talks, music, and dance.
