This exhibition brings the precious contents of a shipwreck discovered off Belitung Island in the Java Sea to American audiences for the first time. The remarkable cargo of spice-filled jars and all together more than 60,000 ceramics produced in China during the Tang dynasty (618\u2013907), plus luxury items of gold and silver, was bound for Iran and Iraq. The exhibition will bring to light how this discovery\u2014one of the most important archaeological revelations of the twentieth century\u2014has changed the way we understand ninth-century Asia.<\/p>\n

Secrets of the Sea: A Tang Shipwreck and Early Trade in Asia is co-organized by Asia Society and the Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore. Objects are from the Khoo Teck Puat Gallery, Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore. The Tang Shipwreck Collection was made possible by the generous donation of the Estate of Khoo Teck Puat in honor of the Late Khoo Teck Puat. The exhibition is on view from March 7 to June 4, 2017.<\/p>\n
