Sanchi, India. Maurya and early Andhra periods, 3rd century BCE- 3rd century CE.

Mechanisms
1. Create a display of the mandala.
2. Display or poster with all the structures presented on The Great Stupa.
3. Photos of the outside, but mostly the inside of the stupa.

Most likely since this is a building itself, it wouldn't actually be in the presentation room. A display of the mandala would take up the ceiling. The museum goers would be able to retrace the path of the sun across the "sky" above them. The mandala is a diagram of the Buddhist cosmos and would be included on the wall. Many vocabulary words accompany the stupa, having a diagram of the stupa with the pieces of the structure labeled will make it more accessible. Once the audience has become familiar with the names of the pieces, they will be able to identify the photos that have been put up for them. Both photos of the inside and outside will be displayed on the walls and will have little facts near each photo such as: "ornate toranas, 35 feet tall, were added in the Andhra period".

Seal and Seal Impression from the Indus Valley Civilization

# data[].attributes.body
seal, horned bull with hieroglyphic & seal impression, yogi "holy man" or yogini "holy woman" with hieroglyphs. Pakistan, Mohenjo-Daro. 3rd millennium BCE.

Mechanisms
1. Map on a wall with all the seals and where they were found.
2. Provide clay, metal stamps with hieroglyphs, and hammers.
3. Video displaying and explaining the animals and hieroglyphs.

Displaying the art all together on one wall will allow the audience to be able to compare and contrast the works from each other. Many different seals have been discovered and they are all very different parts. Visually separating the seals into areas where they were found can aid the viewers in seeing the effects one civilization had on another. The visitors would be able to get more hands-on with these pieces by having clay and hieroglyph stamps provided to them. They would be able to replicate their favorite seal on the wall or create their own to take home. The stamps would have different hieroglyphs and some animals on them. Finally, a video explaining why the bull or associated with the Hindu god Shiva and male potency or why yoga is widely practiced by many Indians would be covered. The video explains further the purpose and subject of these various seals.

Hindu Art. India. Chola period, 11th-12th century. Bronze.

Mechanisms
1. Replicas of Shiva's objects: hand drum and agni.
2. Audio clip explaining significance of drum and agni.
3. Video clip explaining Shiva's gestures and the background of the artwork.

Seeing this artwork without any explanation would be very confusing as to why it is so highly worshipped by the Hindus. To make this piece more accessible and understandable, I would have the two of object he is holding on display for the viewers to touch. They wouldn't be able to touch the actual artwork, but the little replicas provided near the artwork. Having the replicas wouldn't be enough for the audience to understand exactly what they mean, so I would have  an audio clip that would correspond to each object explaining what Shiva is holding and why it's important. Lastly, Shiva is also gesturing with the other two hands. Having a video demonstrating the gestures and then explaining what they mean would be helpful for the audience. The video would also mention a brief background of the Shiva's dance and the cycle of death and rebirth.
