Description
This intimate museum, built in the style of a Himalayan monastery, features terraced sculpture gardens, a water lily and carp pond and a far view of Hudson Bay that make for a serene setting in which to study the small but excellent collection. Objects on display are mostly Tibetan Buddhist in origin, though there are also items dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries from Nepal, India, Japan and Thailand. The collection is rich in metal figures of deities and lamas, as well as thangkas or religious paintings. There are examples of jeweled metalwork, silver ceremonial implements, jewelry, dances masks and imperial Chinese cloisonné objects. Jacques Marchais was the pseudonym of Mrs. Harry Klauber, nee Edna Coblentz, who was an art dealer in the 1930s and 40s. Established in 1945, the museum exhibits works from its collection, which has been visited and blessed by the 14th Dalai Lama, and regularly offers new and innovative exhibits.
