When cultures come together, distinctive works of art are created. This exhibition reveals new directions for the
Asian Civilisations Museum, which has recently focused on building understanding of the diverse cultures of Asia.
The objects reveal surprising connections between Asian cultures, and between Asia and the wider world.

Cross-cultural works of art are powerful indicators that peoples of diverse cultures and faiths have lived together
harmoniously for centuries throughout Asia. Themes of the exhibition include the importance of trade, transmission
of eligions, courtly art, and colonial networks. This is the first time that the public has the opportunity to see
many of these new treasures.
