Last week, our General Manager Eugenie and Vice Chairman Pola had the pleasure of meeting Professor Luo Wenhua, Director of the Research Center for Tibetan Buddhist Heritage at the Palace Museum in Beijing.
The Susan Chen Foundation is exploring opportunities to support the Palace Museum in its project to document and digitise murals, sculptures, textiles, and architectural elements from several historically significant monasteries in Tibet.
The visit could not have been more timely. They were able to view Professor Luo’s remarkable exhibition, Beyond Time: The History, Culture and Art of Sakya Monastery in Tibet, just before it closed on Sunday. Featuring 150 masterpieces from the monastery’s collection—many of which had never before left Sakya since their creation—the exhibition offered an exceptionally rare presentation of Tibetan cultural heritage.
