UNITED KINGDOM---Some of the world’s oldest Buddhist manuscripts dating back to the eleventh century will go on display for the first time in Cambridge. Historians, anthropologists, linguists, art historians, and scientists have contributed to ‘Buddha’s Word: The Life of Books in Tibet and Beyond’, which will go on show at Cambridge’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology from May 28. Visitors will be able to follow the journey of Buddha’s words in three different spaces within the Li Ka Shing gallery of the museum. [link]
