Krishna. Religion, Art and Pop Culture

Krishna is one of the most popular and multifaceted deities in Hinduism. The exhibition at Museum Fünf Kontinente Munich and the richly illustrated volume show how Krishna has inspired people in India and far beyond for centuries: as a divine hero, lover, and teacher.

With over 100 objects from the museum’s inventory – including historical sculptures, paintings and ritual objects – the special exhibition looks at the iconographic, regional and media diversity of Krishna representations.
