Sonderausstellung „Buddhismus“

In the organizer's words:

Buddhism is one of the great religious traditions of mankind. Meditation, mindfulness, yoga - many Buddhist practices have found their way into our everyday lives today. But where did Buddhism begin? How did it spread around the world and what makes it so appealing to Western audiences?

Using around 250 exhibits from the museum's collection, the special exhibition "Buddhism" traces the unbroken fascination for the world religion. From magnificent Buddha figures to elaborately crafted textiles and ritual objects: Visitors can expect
extraordinary highlights from Myanmar, Thailand, the Silk Road region, China, Japan and Tibet. Many of these valuable treasures were previously stored in the museum's storeroom and can now be seen again in an exhibition.
