Join Block Museum engagement manager Cynthia Noble for an exclusive lunchtime gallery tour of the Block's winter exhibition, Collecting Paradise: Buddhist Art of Kashmir and Its Legacies.

Collecting Paradise is an original and innovative look at art from Kashmir and the Western Himalayas from the 7th to 17th centuries. With 44 objects from collections around the world, the exhibition examines how Buddhist art has traveled across centuries and borders, raising questions about cultural exchange and historical collecting practices.
