This exhibition explores the extraordinary sculptures of the Batak peoples of northern Sumatra. The Batak live in the mountain heartlands centred around Lake Toba, a striking environment that nurtured an intriguing culture rooted in ancient Southeast Asian traditions. The show asserts a rightful place for Batak sculpture in the global artistic canon. Over 80 works in wood, stone, and bronze have been lent by the Mandala Foundation, 20 of which have been donated to the Asian Civilisations Museum.
This exhibition is from Friday, 20 February to Sunday, 29 March at the Asian Civilisation Museum. Admission is free.
