050 Silk princess painting 11 Jun 2010

Fri, 11 Jun 10

Fragile silk painting telling story of industrial espionage. Neil McGregor, Director of the British Museum, explores the Buddhist kingdom of Khotan, now in Western China, and tells a powerful story about how the secrets of silk manufacture were passed along the Silk Road. Cellist and composer Yo Yo Ma and the writer Colin Thubron consider its impact - in reality and on the imagination.
