This is the story of the origins of Buddhist art. The religious landscape of ancient India was transformed by the teachings of the Buddha, which in turn inspired art devoted to expressing his message.

Original relics and reliquaries are at the heart of this exhibition, which culminates with the Buddha image itself.
