Explore the V&A’s rich collection of Buddhist artefacts as we trace how the Buddha evolves along the Silk Roads.
Buddhism as a religious philosophy is remarkably accommodating and its visual imagery rich and varied. We’ll time-travel through the museum’s galleries as we skip across the land and maritime routes, in search of Nirvana.
Tour end times are approximate and may vary to what is shown. Please note this tour includes walking and stairs, please contact the Membership Events team directly with any questions about accessibility.
