Barter and bazaar: the journey of exchange

Journey across the Silk Roads with the Youth Collective as they explore the communities and cultures that shaped centuries of exchange at this special evening event.

Try your hand at origami, explore the galleries in the collective's brand-new trail, discover tales from across the globe or learn a new skill in one of their workshops! A full programme of activities will be available soon – keep your eye on the @bmyoungpeople Instagram for more information.

This event has been co-produced by the Youth Collective as part of the British Museum Young People's Programme.
