via The Observer, 14 January 2022: Revealing Krishna will be at the Cleveland Museum of Art until the end of the month.
The sandstone depiction of “Krishna Lifting Mount Govardhan,” also dubbed “Cleveland Krishna,” is the crowning jewel of this temporary exhibit, but before one can see it, they must garner a deeper understanding of its significance. “Revealing Krishna” leads viewers through a chronological retelling of the statue’s past by introducing the powerful elements of augmented reality (AR) to the conventional museum-going experience, truly bringing the story of this monument to life by focusing on both the context of its former glory and its influence on modernity.
In the hall adjacent to the exhibit’s entrance stand several superb examples of Cambodian sculpture that are speculated to date as far back as A.D. 550. Here, too, the myth of Krishna, a Hindu god of great importance, is told.
