I have seen this exhibition on Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism. It's a really fantastic introduction into the three similar religions and has some really great pieces. They have an extensive amount of pieces that showcase the different representations of Buddha and parallel beliefs, and as another poster mentioned, the different materials used for pieces. It's fun to look at the different materials used for each piece and guess which country it likely originated or why a piece has specific features even if there is another piece portraying the same figure. I took an Asian Art History class as an undergraduate a few years ago, which exposed me to some of the different stylings of each piece and the reasons for them. It's a great exhibition to check out and provides great information on each religion's beliefs.
