Borders and Crossroads: The Buddhist Art of Ancient Gandhara

As such, it is a fertile arena for examining artistic florescence along geographic and cultural borders, in which foreign and native traditions mingle, fuse, and transcend their origins as they coalesce into a new hybrid visual culture. This exhibition highlighted recent gifts of Gandharan sculpture from the Manilow collection and included a selection of sculpture from the Smart Museum of Art’s collection of classical Greek and Roman antiquities and later East Asian Buddhist paintings and sculpture.
