H-Buddhism WORKSHOP> Tibetan Monastery Collections and Museums: Traditional Practices and Contemporary Issues, International Workshop, 8–10 November 2018, SOAS University of London Discussion published by Charles DiSimone on Monday, October 29, 2018 Dear all concerned, We are glad to send you the programme of the workshop: "Tibetan Monastery Collections and Museums: Traditional Practices and Contemporary Issues", to be held at SOAS University of London, 8th-10th November 2018. We look forward to your participation and we kindly ask you to spread the announcement. Best wishes, Chiara Bellini Tibetan Monastery Collections and Museums: Traditional Practices and Contemporary Issues International Workshop, 8–10 November 2018, SOAS University of London Tibetan monasteries are known as repositories of a wide range of ancient objects. Originally a considerable part of these collections was an integral part of the furnishing of the monastery and its temples, and thus accessi - ble to the visitor. Today, many monasteries have added museum spaces to their premises. While the original impetus for such spaces appears to be rooted in an attempt to accommodate the needs of tourists, the aims and contents of these vary greatly. These spaces are an expression of a modern transformation, the impact of which on the collections is the main focus of this workshop. The workshop is part of an AHRC-funded research project–‘Tibetan Buddhist Monastery Collections Today’—which directly collaborates with monasteries in Ladakh and Mustang to document, assess and support the management of their collections. Representatives of these institutions will participate in the workshop.
