The opulent standard work Buddha brings together 220 high-calibre objects from two millennia and makes the world of Buddha and the world view associated with this come to life. Masterpieces from the ancient region of Gandhara (in then north-west India) - as well as from India, China, Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, Nepal and Tibet - provide insight into one of the oldest world religions and its image of Buddha. The works are at home in some of the world's most important collections.
