Buddhism, Taoism, Confucius and Cult of Mao

The Newark Museum presents an exhibition about China's Religious Arts.

Multiple religious arts populate the diverse regions of China. Some traditions, like Confucianism, Taoism and the Cult of Mao developed within China. Others religious traditions—Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam—entered with foreign traders, missionaries and shifting populations. Through poignant groupings of devotional objects related to most of these traditions the distinctions and interplay of Chinese aesthetics and religious meanings will be explored.
