The Metropolitan Museum of Art
1000 Fifth Avenue (at 82nd Street), New York, NY 10028
Never been to the Met? Come all the time? Either way, join us! Talk with other teens about works of art from around the world while traveling through the Museum’s galleries. Attend one or all of the monthly sessions.This program is held in conjunction with the exhibition Sacred Traditions of the Himalayas. The Sacred Traditions of the Himalayas features elaborate mandalas, embroidered tangkas, devotional sculpture, and jewelry for the gods. A highlight of the display will be ritual costumes used by masked dancers who reenacted divine conflicts to ensure abundance and ward off malicious forces. All the objects on display served as visually pleasing tools that allowed individuals to reach toward the elusive idea of transcendence.
