While the Museum is closed and the BMA team is working from home, many of us are thinking about our favorite #ArtEscapes in the collection. Dr. Katherine Paul, The Virginia and William M. Spencer III Curator of Asian Art, has the Temple Murals of Pureland Paradise on her mind. She says:
“Welcome to paradise! These gilded and colorful larger-than-life Buddhist murals were intended to inspire awe and remind viewers of a future time when humanity will be surrounded by wish-granting trees, prosperity, good fortune, and harmony. We look forward to rejoicing together!”
