SeaVisionBurma Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 NEW YORK, 9 April 2014: A landmark exhibition opens in New York, next week, exploring the ancient kingdoms of Southeast Asia and introducing to the outside world the first treasures from Myanmar seen outside the country. From TTR Weekly, 9th April. The Metropolitan Museum of Art spent five years preparing the exhibition of Hindu-Buddhist sculptures from a region and ancient culture little known in the United States. It features 160 stone, terracotta and bronze sculptures of which 22 are from Myanmar, the first pieces of art loaned by Yangon after emerging from decades of international isolation. The rest from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Britain, France and elsewhere in the United States complete an exhibition that only the vast resources of the Metropolitan could pull off.
