Chinese and British
A free exhibition exploring British Chinese communities and culture
Opens 18 November
From the voices of those who lived through it, such as writer and painter Ling Shuhua and footballer Frank Soo (pictured above), our free exhibition celebrates the unique history and impact of British Chinese communities across the UK.
From as far back as the 17th century, Chinese communities have been calling the UK home. Many are able to trace their heritage to regions across East and Southeast Asia, which has led to a rich and diverse culture across the UK.
Explore this long history through photographs and manuscripts and listen to interviews with remarkable individuals. Be inspired by the scientists, artists and writers breaking new ground. Get to know the local business owners who set up Europe’s first Chinatowns. Listen to personal accounts of merchant seamen. And uncover the challenges that British Chinese people have encountered through the centuries, and continue to face today.
Join us to explore what it means to be Chinese and British.
