Join San Francisco's Asian Art Museum in examining rituals and practices that honor and respect the dead and have been an important part of cultures and religions across Asia for thousands of years.

Rituals and practices that honor and respect the dead have been an important part of cultures and religions across Asia for thousands of years; common to many of these diverse practices is the belief in an afterlife state. Explore the varied ideas and customs surrounding the afterlife in Asian cultures through an examination of sculptures, paintings, and jewelry from the Asian Art Museum collection that demonstrate respect and love for the deceased.

Armchair Travels is generously funded with a gift from the Rutherford Family Trust. This program will not be recorded.
