British Museum Lecture – Silk Roads with Curator Yu-ping Luk
7pm-8.30pm. The term ‘Silk Road’ conjures a range of romantic images. Camel caravans crossing desert dunes. Merchants trading silk and spices. Far-flung commerce between ‘East’ and ‘West’. The reality was far richer.

Rather than a single trade route from East to West, the Silk Roads were made up of overlapping networks linking communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, from East Asia to Britain, and from Scandinavia to Madagascar. This talk, based on the major British Museum exhibition and accompanying book Silk Roads, unravels how the journeys of people, objects and ideas that formed the Silk Roads shaped cultures and histories.
