Nepal. Art of the Kathmandu Valley

The art of Nepal, which until the middle of the 18th century referred only to the Kathmandu valley, occupies a major place within the arts of the Himalayan world, despite the modest size of the country. An exceptional art developed there, finding its first impulse in that of India but acquiring by its originality a reputation which extended to Tibet and to the imperial court of China. The exhibition presents some 90 works from this mythical and little-known country, from the collections of the Musée national des arts asiatiques - Guimet, as well as a selection of important works from French public collections, brought together for the first time.
