Tibet's Secret Temple exhibition at Wellcome Collection documentary

Tibet’s Secret Temple exhibition presented an astonishing overview of Tantric Buddhist art, showing many rarely seen images, sculptures and manuscripts from museums, institutions and private collections. When we heard that no catalogue would be printed for this exhibition, we decided to film it as one of our Art Heritage Interviews. We thus interviewed Ian Baker, the lead curator of the exhibition, about the story of the murals of the Lukhang temple in Lhasa, and about this fascinating time of Asian Art history. We followed him around the exhibition, unveiling, through a precise and comprehensive presentation of its major artworks, the main characters, concepts, historical moments and legendary stories of this barely known practice of Buddhism. This 1h15 minutes long free-to-watch-and-share documentary can also be watched part per part on vimeo/facebook () and Main artworks shown : 04:19 : Sir Charles Bell,
