Himalayan Art Resources (HAR) website is a "virtual museum" of Himalayan and Tibetan art, cataloging and exhibiting images of art (painting, sculpture, textiles, ritual objects, murals, etc.) from museum, university and private collections throughout the world.[1][2] The website is hosted at the Rubin Museum of Art.[3]

History

Himalayan Art Resources started out as a digital library known as the Tibet Art Project. The website was created with funding from the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation in 1997, as an education and research database of Himalayan Art.[4][5] Since 1998, Jeff Watt, a Himalayan and Tibetan art scholar, has been the director and chief Curator of the HAR website.[6][7]

By 2013 the website included about than 45,000 images from public and private collections;[8][9] this number more than doubled by 2018, and included images from about 1000 collections and repositories.[10]

Scholars of Himalayan art make regular use of the web site during their research.[11] The site also makes available hundreds of resources for educational and interpretation purposes.[12] These include curriculum, essays, glossaries, and organizational outlines to help the user navigate the material on the site.
