About the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art
Established in 1945, the Museum was founded by the pioneering American woman Jacques Marchais (1887-1948), an important collector and respected expert on Tibetan art.
Designed by Marchais, the rustic complex of fieldstone buildings resembles a Tibetan mountain monastery. These historic buildings represent the first Himalayan-style architecture to be built in the United States, and it was the first museum in the world devoted solely to Tibetan art.
The Museum hosts exhibitions, public programming including tai chi, yoga classes, and sound baths, festivals, and other community events.
