Recommended Posts

The Punjab the cradle of a great civilisation. The nexus of the Silk Road. A divided land riven with conflict for centuries. The preconceptions of the Punjab are also as varied as the extraordinary mix of peoples who have made this region their home. Now, the Royal Geographical Society with IBG is exhibiting The Punjab: Moving Journeys to reveal the little-seen history of the region using the unique perspective provided by the Society’s Collections.

The last of the exhibitions in the Society’s Crossing Continents series, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, and developed in partnership with the UK Punjab Heritage Association, the Muslim Women’s Welfare Association (Illford) and the Cartwright Hall Young Ambassadors (Bradford) and the Anglo Sikh Heritage Trail, The Punjab: Moving Journeys links London and Bradford to the borders of India and Pakistan.
