Fiercely Modern - Rubin Museum of Art
Ages: All Address: 150 W. 17th St. - 212-620-5000 New York, NY 10011 www.rmanyc.org Description: Naga describes a group of culturally and linguistically linked, but distinct tribes living on the border between India and Burma. Because the Naga had the reputation for being fearsome headhunters, they were somewhat isolated and evolved a distinctive material culture. They produce decorative ornaments, expressive wood carvings, and vividly colored textiles. The exhibition, from the Museum of Ethnology in Vienna, will include examples from one of the largest and most important collections in the world. |
