Tibet museum in Gruyeres, Switzerland


This collection, assembled with care and respect by Alain Bordier, presents more than 350 works of Himalayan art from the 6th to 18th centuries. The sculptures, paintings and ritual objects come from Tibet, Nepal, Kashmir, Northern India and Burma. They represent deities and ritual objects used for meditation and are an expression of inner qualities such as devotion and knowledge of the very essence of the mind.
