A number of Singapore’s prize 9th-century Tang Dynasty shipwreck artefacts (including a gold cup, a Gongxian pitcher, an early small glass bottle, and an early blue-and-white plate) are amongst the pieces now on display in the British Museum’s ‘Silk Roads’ exhibition on loan from the Asian Civilisations Museum (Singapore). The exhibition opened 26 September and will remain until 23 February 2025. For more information, click here for the British Museum site (and to order tickets to the exhibition). The exhibition has been supported by the Huo Family Foundation with additional supporters (James Bartos, The Ruddock Foundation for the Arts, and the Uzbekistan Art and Culture Development Foundation). One of SEACS’ councillors recently visited the exhibition; read her account here.
