Become a member
As a member of the Society, you support Indo-Asian art and enjoy a number of privileges.
Lectures by eminent scholars and curators, followed by discussions, are regularly organised. Interdisciplinary events are held in collaboration with universities, museums, institutes, learned societies and associations.
Guided tours of the South, South-East and Central Asian art collections open up new perspectives on works of art in discussions with art historians, archaeologists and conservators.
Study tours, such as the 16-day Journey to India’s Classical Cultural Treasures in March 2010, offer the opportunity to meet people, see fascinating landscapes and engage intensively with the living art and culture of Asia.
Are you interested? Then you too can support Indo-Asian art by becoming a member.
