Impressions from the Lectures, Book Presentation and Exhibition 'Discovering Tibet'

Some impressions from our very successful event 'Discovering Tibet'. The Book Presentation (Deborah Klimburg-Salter (ed), Discovering Tibet: The Tucci Expeditions and Tibetan Paintings) was accompanied by an opening address by Martin Gaenszle and lectures from John Clark (Victoria & Albert Museum) and Hildegard Diemberger (University of Cambridge). It also marked the opening of the three week long exhibition "Discovering the Western Himalayas" organised by CIRDIS.
