Special emphasis is placed on sculpture - stone, bronze, ceramic, as well as frescoes. In addition, textiles from Buddhist cult complexes on the northern part of the Silk Road, porcelain, Indian miniature painting, precious products of the Islamic period of the Mughals, ritual sculpture from Nepal and much more are exhibited here.
