In Focus Tour: Partition of the Indian subcontinent photo

In this intimate look at our Indian collection you'll hear the stories that lead to the partition of British India in 1947. This broad collection of exquisite objects, that originated in the East Indian Company's India Museum before finding it's way here, each tell their own story of the separation, the social and political life in the subcontinent, and global trade.
