Comment: Although the British Museum is currently closed it is open online. I have included a link to the exhibition.
Full of wonders sacred and profane, the British Museum’s sweeping survey Tantra: Enlightenment to Revolution aims to reveal the history and tenets of a mysterious, transgressive spiritual tradition that has been intertwined with Hinduism and Buddhism for nearly a millennium and a half. Notorious in the West for its sacred sexual rites, the movement turned self- and world-abnegating aspects of these religions on their heads and reveled in the magic of the body and the earth as accelerated means to enlightenment.
