秋色に染まり始めたロサンゼルスリバー沿いの風景です。

常夏の楽園のように思われるロサンゼルスですが、内陸ではこういった季節の移り変わりを楽しむこともできるんです。

Exploring the history of the cave temple site from its founding in the 4th century, to its abandonment in the 14th century and its revitalization in the 20th century, the exhibition offers three complementary experiences. A temporary building on the Getty Center’s plaza will house three full-scale, hand-painted replica caves, filled with exquisite Buddhist painting and sculpture.

The Getty Research Institute galleries will exhibit more than 40 objects discovered at Mogao in 1900 in Cave 17, known as the “Library Cave.” These stunning works reflect the diverse ideas, beliefs, and artistic styles of China and the Silk Road in the 8th, 9th and 10th centuries. The art displays the co-mingling of major cultures - Greek and Roman via Ghandaran India, Middle Eastern and Persian, Indian and Chinese.

A multimedia experience will comprise the third part of the exhibition. New 3D stereoscopic immersive technology, never before used in a museum exhibition, will enable visitors to examine in detail the magnificent sculpture and painting of Cave 45. This 8th -century cave exemplifies the artistic brilliance of Chinese art of the High Tang period (705-781).

The exhibition will also focus on the modern history of the Mogao cave temples at Dunhuang, highlighting the Getty Conservation Institute’s work in partnership with the Dunhuang Academy to address the preservation challenges of this singular site.
