The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is home to an important collection of artworks from South Asia that spans a large geographical area - comprising India and the countries that surround it - and more than four millennia. Among these objects are expressive figures in bronze and stone, dazzlingly intricate miniature paintings, luxury textiles and exquisite metalwork.
