One cornerstone of the museum’s holdings is formed by its famous
'Turfan' collection. Its paintings and sculptures originate from
Buddhist sacred sites in what is now northwest China and date from the
3rd to 13th century CE. The reconstruction of one such sacred site, a
square temple, is adorned with the original wall paintings from Cave 123
in the Kucha oasis.
A central room in the permanent exhibition is dedicated to Buddhist art
created in China, Japan, and Korea. One particularly striking artefact
that stands out from the hundreds of exquisite non-religious Chinese
objects – bronzes, ceramics, porcelain, and lacquer objects – is an
imperial throne from the 17th century made of rosewood, inlays of
mother-of-pearl, lacquer, and gold.
Indian religious art is presented in the form of thousand-year-old
sculptures of stone, bronze, and terracotta. The round stupa and the
rectangular temple on display give a vivid impression of Indian sacred
architecture. Elaborate craftwork of metal, ceramic, ivory, wood, and
jade reflect the influence of Islam on this region from the 12th century
onwards.
Among the museum’s highlights are the collection of Japanese painting
and East-Asian lacquer objects bequeathed to the museum by the collector
Klaus Friedrich Naumann, as well as the Berlin Yuegutang Collection,
featuring Chinese ceramics ranging from the Neolithic period all the way
up the 15th century. Due to the sensitive nature of the material
(primarily paper and silk), examples of highly sophisticated East-Asian
calligraphy and pictorial art cannot be placed on permanent display and
are instead presented in a series of constantly rotating exhibitions,
which makes each visit to the museum a whole new experience.
Zu den Höhepunkten zählen zudem die Kollektion japanischer Malerei und
ostasiatischer Lackkunst des Sammlers Klaus Friedrich Naumann sowie die
Berliner Sammlung Yuegutang mit chinesischer Keramik vom Neolithikum bis
zum 15. Jahrhundert. Beispiele der hochentwickelten ostasiatischen
Bild- und Schreibkunst werden wegen der Empfindlichkeit der verwendeten
Materialien in wechselnden Ausstellungen gezeigt.
