Go to Hell! Depictions of Buddhist
and Christian Hells — The Art Gal-
lery of Greater Victoria has just re-
ceived a donation of 11 rare oriental
scrolls depicting Buddhist hells.
Such scrolls were originally used in
Buddhist temples to illustrate con-
cepts of punishment and served as a
warning to converts. The exhibition
will be counterbalanced by depic-
tions of Christian hells as seen in

western engravings, particularly the
engravings by Gustave Dore (1833-
1883). Both the Buddhist and the
Christian hell depictions show a high
artistic quality, but the gruesome nature
of the images is not for the faint of
heart.
