Because you've asked for it, we've decided to take our Curators' Tour series into one of the permanent galleries of the British Museum. But it's not just any gallery. The Sir Joseph Hotung Gallery of China and South Asia is a whopping 115 metres long and covers 1.5 million years of history. In fact this gallery is so large (the longest in the British Museum), it takes 5 curators just to tackle the geography and time periods the gallery covers.
So join curators Ruiliang Liu, Yu-Ping Luk, Wenyuan Xin, Sushma Jansari and Imma Ramos for a highlights tour of the Sir Joseph Hotung Gallery of China and South Asia.
