Exhibition: "Living Angkor"

Spectacular Angkor Wat in North Central Cambodia is one of the great monuments of the world. This exhibition will focus on the living aspects and continuity of culture found in Angkor and its environs today. For many Cambodians the monuments of Angkor are the continuous link to ancient Khmer culture despite the horrible devastation during the "killing fields" period, 1975-79.The exhibition will feature several 13th and 14th century sculptures and will also depict how these are sometimes transformed into modern Buddhist worship. Motifs found in traditional textiles, puppets, and masks that are found within the 13th century friezes will be displayed. Images by National Geographic photographer Paul Chesley will depict both the monuments and the contemporary Cambodian people.
