A special preview of 'Tree & Serpent...' was just organised at The Met. It was attended by Nita Ambani and hosted by Max Hollein, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Marina Kellen French, a connoisseur, and supporter of art in the United States and abroad. The event also drew distinguished guests from the art world and beyond, including Taranjit Singh Sandhu, the Indian Ambassador to the United States, Eric Garcetti, the US Ambassador to India, and John Guy, the Florence and Herbert Irving Curator of South and Southeast Asian and curator of Tree & Serpent at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Reliance Foundation and Nita Ambani-backed exhibition 'Tree & Serpent...' brings over 125 artifacts spanning from 200 BCE to 400 CE to The Met. Nita Ambani's communiqué on Art and Event, "I am from India, the land of the Buddha, and it is a great honor for me to support 'Tree & Serpent' through the Reliance Foundation's collaboration with The Met." With approximately 125 pieces from ancient India, this historic exhibition recounts the origins of early Buddhist art from the 2nd century BC to the 4th century AD. We are extremely proud of the 'Tree & Serpent,' which demonstrates the deep relationship between Buddhism and India. Buddha's teachings are intertwined with Indian ethos and continue to affect global ideas. I hope visitors from all over the world come to enjoy this one-of-a-kind event. We remain dedicated to presenting the best of India to the rest of the world, and the best of the rest of the world to India."

"Buddhism inspired an extraordinarily innovative and beautiful flowering of art in ancient India," remarked Max Hollein, Marina Kellen French Director of The Met. It is a fantastic honor to present this spectacular show to our global audience, as well as to introduce fresh discoveries from this key period in art history. We would like to thank the Government of India and the six state governments in India, as well as institutions in Europe and the United States, for their generous lending to this groundbreaking exhibition."

"This exhibition presents the story of the origins of Buddhist art through the lens of newly discovered masterpieces from early India," said John Guy, Florence and Herbert Irving Curator of South and Southeast Asian Art at The Met. It depicts the origins of Buddhist art in southern India and situates it within a larger landscape of early Buddhist devotional practice centered on the Buddha and his relics. Buddhist monasteries were places for meditation but also for loud feasts, the air thick with the aroma of new flowers and perfumes. The role of beautiful stories that found expression in the art embellishing the stupa, as well as the lived traditions of early Buddhism, are foregrounded here. This is an exhibition that, like Buddhist prayer, embraces the senses."
