The
Himalayan Art Resources website was certainly a participant in the successful Rubin Museum of Art exhibition
Mandala, The Perfect Circle. HAR provided scholarship and essays both for the catalogue publication and wall text on the gallery floor. But what does this all have to do with yaks and mandalas, and what do they have in common? Well, familiar with both the art and the exhibition we have come up with five interesting facts that touch on both the lighter side and the more serious side of the exhibition and Buddhist Tantric art in general. To pursue the yak question see the
Five Interesting Facts of the Rubin Museum exhibition. (Also see the
Five Myths About Mandalas).
