New Exhibit at Sackler Gallery: Garden and Cosmos
The newest exhibit at the Sackler Gallery opens tomorrow, October 11, 2008. This new exhibit is called “Garden and Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodhpur.” This exhibit sounds pretty interesting in that it contains recently rediscovered “Indian paintings from the royal court collection of Marwar-Jodhpur (in the modern state of Rajasthan).” The exhibit is broken into three sections. One is paintings related to the Garden. One is paintings related to the Cosmos. The other part is about the kingdom of Marwar-Jodhpur and their court painting traditions of the 17th century. The main interesting thing is that very few have seen these works of art since they were created in the 1600s. This exhibit is one of the shorter temporary exhibits done by Smithsonian museums in that it is only going to be on display a few months until January 4, 2009.
