What are the activities of the Society for Indo-Asian Art Berlin (GIAK) ?
The Society for Indo-Asian Art Berlin was founded on 24 April 1993 as a non-profit organisation.
The Society aims to disseminate, deepen and promote the knowledge and understanding of Indian art, which, according to scholarly opinion, also includes the art of South-East and Central Asia. It is therefore here after referred to as Indo-Asian art.
In particular, the GIAK supports the collection of South, South-East and Central Asian art at the Museum of Asian Art, which was founded on 4 December 2006. The museum combines the former Museum of Indian Art and the Museum of East Asian Art and is one of the Berlin State Museums…

The great Unknown: Hermann Pohrt and his time
The least known participant of the four Turfan expeditions (1902-14) of the Berlin Ethnological Museum is Hermann Pohrt. He only participated in the third expedition, so the museum’s files contain very little information about him. Who was this Hermann Pohrt and why does his name not appear in the museum's files after his only trip?Become a member
