In the series “SERIA BUDDHIKA,” the third book of the orientalist-Tibetologist E. D. Ogneva “Gods of snowy mountains, fiery hot deserts, and cool forests” was published. The author, for the first time, describes the Buddhist collections of the Odessa Museum of Western and Eastern Art, the A. V. Bleshchunov Municipal Museum of Personal Collections, and Odessa Roerich House Museum. This publication is a unique guide to exhibits of fine art in the Tibetan tradition. The book will allow visitors to Odessa museums to get a fairly complete picture of museum collections and learn more about Buddhist culture.
