Organised in partnership with Art Exhibitions China, the exhibition showcases 207 works from more than 30 Chinese museums recounting 300 years of effervescent art and literature, a flourishing cosmopolitan population and the rise of centralised administration of the Tang dynasty (618-907). The Tang secured peace, reorganised the state and helped turn their vast country a land of economic and cultural prosperity which would shape the cultural and administrative foundations of China over the next millennium. While the era was a time of strong development in agriculture and craftsmanship, it was also a golden age for the arts; creativity flourished in painting, sculpture, music and dance more than ever before.
