Port Cities: Multicultural Emporiums of Asia

Trace the beginnings of trade and globalisation, and how the exchange of people, goods and ideas came to be across the Asian continent in Port Cities. On showcase are over 180 artefacts from eight countries, each challenging the notion of globalisation as a ‘new’ concept. Then chart the stories of lives led within the communities of Goa, Bombay, Manila and Guangzhou’s then-Canton.
