David Attenborough: 'Turtles are marvellous sculptural pieces and as such clearly inspired the Mughal artist working with a spectacular jade boulder. It is exciting that this wonderful object that has been in London for two centuries, should be shown at last more widely around the country.’

This exhibition was seen by more than 260,000 people around the UK.
