Unlike many #museum presentations that treat Buddhist objects primarily as stylistic or iconographic achievements, this show puts religious practice first. Here's a short report on what I found most interesting about it:

In Jan. this year, I visited the #Museum for #EastAsianArt in #Cologne, where I have seen the the exhibition "Celebrating the #LunarYear of the #horse". The exhibition brings together works from #China, #Tibet, #Korea, and #Japan to explore the cultural history of the horse in #EastAsia, coinciding with the Lunar Year of the Horse. In this post, I summarize my impressions and insights from the exhibition:

I put some thoughts on this fascinating object in my latest post:
