Five Halls
Quick Lookup · 3 Utilities
6 Curatorial Interactive Studios
Curatorial Interactive Workshops · 6 Thematic Labs
Unlike quick lookup utilities, each Studio is a hands-on curatorial exhibit—dissecting 24 thangka composition pins, comparing 8 look-alike deity pairs, transmuting the Five Poisons, and decoding Tibetan consonant stacks.
Wing I · Iconographic Comparison, Thangka Anatomy & Shrine Space
Side-by-side museum plates solving classic look-alikes: Vajradhara vs. Vajrasattva, Śākyamuni vs. Medicine Buddha, 1,000-Armed Chenrezig vs. Sitātapatrā.
Tap numbered mineral-gold pins across 4 CC0 masterworks—Three-Register Thangka, Wheel of Life, Mandala Palace & Peaceful-Wrathful Bardo.
Interactive Five-Poisons-to-Five-Wisdoms wheel, Traditional Tibetan Altar & 7 Water Offering Bowls spatial diagram, plus Guru Rinpoche’s 8 Forms.
Wing II · Liturgical Sound, Tibetan Orthography & Thangka Cartography
Syllable-by-syllable Sanskrit-to-Tibetan phonology, authentic monastic chanting archive links, and 1-click Tsashog bookmark PNG export.
Color-coded anatomy of silent prefixes, superscripts, roots & subjoined letters (why “spyan ras gzigs” is pronounced “Chenrezig”!), plus Uchen/Ume/Lantsa.
Panoramic Tibetan thangka-style cartographic map of 12 mother monasteries, sacred peaks & turquoise lakes across Ngari, Ü-Tsang, Kham, Amdo, Bhutan & Nepal.
