The three sculptures are from the Walters Art Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art and Freer Gallery of Art. This is the first time they are on display together.
The exhibition explores how the sculptures were made and highlights how science can contribute to understanding art. Experts from the Freer|Sackler Department of Conservation and Scientific Research used specialized equipment and new methods to analyze the sculptures, exposing microscopic details. The Buddhas are on display at Freer|Sackler until June 10. | |  Friday, December 22 Event - Annual Downtown Holiday Market
