Thailand and Burma, neighboring countries that are approximately the same size in area and population, have many cultural features in common (Theravada Buddhism above all), but have traditionally been adversaries. This exhibition of decorative and religious arts explores Thailand and Burma’s shared aesthetic despite their contrasting histories. Drawn exclusively from the museum’s extensive holdings of artworks from this region and period, many of the sumptuous artworks have never before been on view. The majority of the artworks are from the Doris Duke Collection which the museum acquired in 2002. The more than 140 artworks include gilded and mirrored ritual vessels, black lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlaid furniture, and vibrant, colorful paintings.
