LEVEL 1

Maritime Trade

Galleries on the first floor tell the story of Trade and the Maritime Silk Routes. This begins from the 9th century with the Tang Shipwreck collection, and continues through displays of Asian export art – revealing the history of Asian port cities and globalisation, long before the term was coined.
