The Bhagavad-gita Museum, also known as the First American Transcendental Exhibition (FATE), is a multimedia art museum situated in West Los Angeles, California. Established in 1977, it is dedicated to illustrating the philosophy of Bhagavad-gita and is owned and operated by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). The museum is located near the border of Culver City, where a sizable Hare Krishna population resides.
The Bhagavad-gita Museum underwent refurbishment and was reopened in 2001 with modern solid state show controls. Further renovations were carried out in the 2010s, and the museum was reopened in 2016. These renovations have ensured that the museum maintains a modern and updated look, while still preserving its original charm and purpose.
The exhibit at the Bhagavad-gita Museum consists of eleven dioramas. The almost life-sized dolls in the dioramas are constructed from traditional Indian doll-making materials such as bamboo, rice straw, various clays, and rice husk. These dolls are created using traditional construction, finishing, and dressing techniques, providing an authentic and immersive experience for visitors.
