Nepalese Seasons: Rain and Ritual

Rubin Museum, New York

NOW CLOSED

Featuring almost 50 objects from the Rubin Museum’s premiere collection of Nepalese art and select loans, ‘Nepalese Seasons: Rain and Ritual’ illustrates the enduring manifestation of rituals, agrarian festivals, and the natural environment in the art of Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley.

This is the first exhibition connecting well-known deities represented in Nepalese art to rituals and festivals surrounding the rainy season, or monsoon, and highlighting the importance of the seasons to the culture and everyday life of Nepalese people. Through this lens, the exhibition will offer visitors a new understanding of the region and its art, which is already renowned for its high quality and aesthetic appeal. Read more.
