Vanished Kingdoms: The Wulsin Photographs of Tibet, China, and Mongolia, 1921-1925

Burke Museum, University of Washington, Seattle, US

Supplied note: "'Vanished Kingdoms: The Wulsin Photographs of Tibet, China, and Mongolia, 1921-1925,' is an exhibit of 39 compelling color images of rare colored lantern slides taken by two young American explorers, Janet E. and Frederick R. Wulsin, Jr., from the collections of the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University. Janet was one of the first American women explorers to reach western China, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet. Together they produced this series of superb photographs of the Ta'er, Labuleng and Zhuoni lamaseries, religious ceremonies, and landscapes they encountered during their expedition for the National Geographic Society in 1923. Shown publicly for the first time, this traveling exhibit is organized by PEM in conjunction with the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, Harvard University. The Silkroad Foundation is a co-sponsor of the exhibition. The exhibition runs from November 4, 2006-February 7, 2007. Further information may be found on the Burke Museum website [at the URL below].

Sacred Portraits from Tibet - Augmenting the photographs of Vanished Kingdoms through February 4, is 'Sacred Portraits from Tibet,' [www.washington.edu/burkemuseum/exhibits/sacred/ - ed.] a display of Burke Museum thangkas, large, delicately painted Tibetan religious paintings. Thangkas typically feature portraits of arhats or Buddhist saints and important lamas or Buddhist teachers. Paintings made between the 17th and early 20th centuries demonstrate not only the rich iconography of Tibetan Buddhist tradition, but also the exquisite painterly skills in portraiture and illustration. - dcw."
