Tibets Secret Temple exhibition at Wellcome Collection documentary

Tibets Secret Temple exhibition presented an astonishing overviewof Tantric Buddhist art, showing many rarely seen images, sculpturesand manuscripts from museums, institutions and private collections. When we heard that no catalogue would be printed for this exhibition, we decided to film it as one of our Art Heritage Interviews. We thus interviewed Ian Baker, the lead curator of the exhibition, about the story of the murals of the Lukhang templein Lhasa, and about this fascinating time of Asian Art history. We followed him around the exhibition, unveiling, through a precise and comprehensive presentation of its major artworks, the main characters, concepts, historical moments and legendary stories of this barely known practice of Buddhism. This 1h15 minutes long freetowatchandshare documentary can also be watched part per part on vimeo, facebook and Main artworks shown : 04:19 : Sir Charles Bell,
