Long known as the “Land of Stupas,” Myanmar has a rich Buddhist heritage stretching back over a thousand years. Today about 90 percent of the population is Theravada Buddhist, and religion plays a role in every aspect of daily life. One of the most distinctive sights in Myanmar is the Shwedagon Stupa. Situated on top of a hill in Yangon, the nation’s largest city, this huge gilded stupa covered with gems has been a focal point of devotional offerings for many centuries.

The four themes of the exhibition are: “Life and Culture”; “Buddhist Stupas”; “Myanmar and Taiwan”; and “Religious Art.” This is the first exhibition held in Taiwan on the religion and culture of Myanmar, and features a specially made model of the Shwedagon Stupa, which gives visitors a distinct impression of Buddhist devotional architecture in Myanmar.
