This is exhibit is amazing! Even though I was raised Hindu and study South Asian art, I learned so much from reading the labels. Thank you for such a great exhibit and wonderful breakdown of a complex subject.

This exhibit was very enjoyable, and my kids especially loved how you could choose which character/god you could be!

This is a very interesting exhibition, giving lots of detail as to the many fascinating aspects of Hinduism. I particularly enjoyed it as Hinduism is a part of my background. The many forms of Hindu art that are displayed here give a great insight into the culture. I was very satisfied by this exhibit.

It's an incredible exhibition that clarifies many aspects of both religion and art but why are we not allowed to take notes???!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot. I think it would've been good to add that while Hinduism is, technically polytheistic (having multiple gods), its dogma and doctrine are clearly monotheistic, meaning belief in ONE god. Hinduism teaches that there is only one god but many paths. And, one may worship god in whichever form she chooses.

Excellent collection of Indian Art work. I just loved the frames, a variety of shapes and sizes showing different forms of Vishnu was the most fascinating things I got to see. It felt like I was back home in India remembering grandfathers stories that he once told me. Thank you for bringing it all in one floor.

It was interesting and informative. I appreciate the detail the artists placed into their work. Even my young cousins were entralled and thought that "the artwork was beautiful to look at."
