Princes, Palaces, & Passion

Description

For centuries travelers to northern India told tales of a fabled city, “airy, unreal, and fantastic as a dream.” That city was Udaipur, capital of Mewar, the most illustrious of the kingdoms of Rajasthan (the “Land of Kings”). Now, for the first time outside India, an exhibition of 74 rare artworks conveys the brilliant artistic traditions of this legendary kingdom.

Don't miss the rare opportunity to see these beautiful artworks—the Asian Art Museum is the exhibition's only U.S. venue. FREE public tours, private group tours, and a variety of educational programs will be presented. Please visit http://www.asianart.org/mewar.htm for more information.
