Building of the Day: Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art

The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art — founded by Jacques Marchais (1887-1948), an important collector and respected expert — replicates the monasteries of Lhasa, containing unique artifacts reflecting art, history, culture, and spirituality of Tibet. Designed by Marchais, the rustic complex of fieldstone buildings resembles a Tibetan monastery. These historic buildings represent the first Himalayan-style architecture to be built in the U.S., and the first museum in the world devoted solely to Tibetan art.
Please note: this tour is not accessible by wheelchair.
The Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art staff have been working hard to preserve the historic building. Please consider supporting the museum to help continue their mission of preservation and education through this donation link. 

This event is offered in person; COVID-19 vaccinations and face masks are strongly encouraged for all visitors. 

Meeting location will be emailed to registered attendees the day before the tour.
