> Online Auction May 16 - 25, 2006 — The items for sale in this  
> benefit auction are all a part of our continuing efforts to  
> conserve and share with the world, important works of Buddhist art  
> from Mongolia and the greater Himalayan region. The TMS auction and  
> gallery are funding sources for our online exhibition, for which,  
> we conserve many artifacts, photograph them, catalog them, research  
> them, and include several, among our online exhibit, which reaches  
> thousands of viewers every month from over 100 countries. In this  
> way, we are better able to accumulate a large digital museum that  
> is self-supporting, which allows us to use donated funds for other  
> significant projects that benefit all concerned. To visit our  
> benefit auction, click here.
