A major exhibition of Chinese historical and cultural relics are currently on tour in the UK. Entitled "China: Journey to the East," it is the largest ever collection of Chinese relics organized by the British Museum. Let's visit the York Art Gallery, where the show is currently, and take a closer look.

Exhibits include more than 100 remarkable objects from the British Museum, and are complemented by artifacts from the York Museum's Trust collections and York's Chinese communities.

China has always played a central part in the British Museum's collection. Five themes are used to explore the three thousand years of Chinese history and culture - Technology, Leisure, Food, Festivals, and Language and Writing.
