 I am art historian, currently writing about the
ritual context of Tibetan painting. I want to go and visit the Sakya monastery, but have no idea how.

Yes, you are absolutely right. Sakya is the first choice if you are a mural and Tibetan history lover. Hope information below can help you.

You have to get to Shigatse from Lhasa then to Sakya.

From Lhasa to Shigatse:
Long distance buses depart daily from the bus station from 07:00 - 12:00 at RMB 38. The trip takes 8 hours.

Then from Shigatse to Sakya:
Regular buses depart from 7:30 to 8:00 to Sakya at RMB 27 and the trip takes about five hours.

Ten minutes walk from the county checkpoint in Sakya, you can see white buildings.
