The Indian subcontinent is a vast region with
diverse populations, climatic zones and some of the world’s richest
but endangered habitats.
The landscape changes from the dramatic, rocky environment of
the Himalayan mountains to the tropical lushness of southern India,
through a temperate zone representing the plains. Star plants link
with objects in the British Museum’s collection and paintings in
the exhibition Garden and
Cosmos.
India Landscape is the result of
a unique partnership between the British Museum and the Royal Botanic Gardens,
Kew.
