Step into three of the museum's most immersive galleries and discover how art has served devotion, storytelling, and daily life across South and Southeast Asia. The experience concludes with a hands-on studio session inspired by the shapes, patterns, and symbolism encountered along the way. Participants will create their own art—drawing on motifs like lotus forms, repeating architectural patterns, or symbolic gestures and colors—to reflect on what they've seen and make a personal connection to the traditions explored in the galleries.
