Principal curator Heidi Tan and a team of scholars produced this profusely illustrated catalogue to accompany the exhibition on Thai Buddhist art at the Asian Civilisations Museum. The book contains highly readable essays on diverse aspects of Thai art and culture, from the aesthetics of devotion and the iconic Sukhothai walking Buddha, to more recent aspects of popular Buddhism, like festivals and collecting amulets. Entries on each of the more than 150 objects on display enrich our understanding of the over 1,500 years of Buddhist art in Thailand covered in the volume.

Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name at the Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore, in 2010, this book explores the art of Sumatra. It traces the major streams of influence on the visual culture of the island: the indigenous cultures, as well as contacts with India, China, the Islamic world, and Europe. Sumatra responded in nuanced and complex ways to these traditions.
