The Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst in Köln holds an extensive collection of Buddhist (art) works and ritual objects from China, Japan, Korea and Tibet. Sculptures, paintings, ritual objects and sacred texts are closely related to specific practices and rituals in temples, shrines or private contexts. The works come from different Buddhist traditions of East Asia and are only rarely displayed in a larger context. In the guided tour, you will get to know the saving figures and practices of Buddhism in East Asia more closely.
Limited number of participants. On the day of the tour, you will receive a sticker at the cash desk approximately 30 minutes in advance, which entitles you to take part in the tour.
