Asian Medicines: The Art of Balance at Musée National des Arts Asiatiques — Guimet
Asian Medicines
The Art of Balance
May 17, 2023 — September 18, 2023
Designed as an original experience, an introspective journey between the body and the supernatural, Médecines d'Asie is the first major exhibition in France devoted to the three great Asian medical traditions: Indian, Chinese, and Tibetan. Through a scenographic journey beyond borders and time, the exhibition transports the visitor to a universe where thousand-year-old medical practices and exceptional works of art meet, evoking meditation and shamanism, the balance of energies and pharmacopeia, massage and acupuncture, astrology and exorcism.
The exhibition offers a dive through four major themes in a striking face-to-face with 300 works, most of them shown for the first time, from French national collections and major European heritage institutions.
