The Tibetan Museum Society,
a 501(c)(4) non-profit association, is a recently formed
international civic league of concerned citizens who wish to
advocate museum exhibition of Asian art from ancient Mongolia
and the greater Himalayan region.

The antique items
for sale in this benefit auction are all a part of our continuing
efforts to conserve and share with the world, important works of
Mongolian Buddhist art as well as art from Tibet, China and the
greater Himalayan region. The TMS auction and gallery are
funding sources for our online exhibition, for which, we
conserve many artifacts, photograph them, catalog them,
research them, and include several, among our online exhibit,
which reaches thousands of viewers every month from over 100
countries. In this way, we are better able to accumulate a large
digital museum that is self-supporting, which allows us to use
donated funds for other significant projects that benefit all
concerned.
