India: Faces of India

13 September to 7 October 2027

Stunningly beautiful and spiritually diverse, India does nothing by halves, with vivid sounds and colours around every corner and down every laneway. The spirit of India has fascinated the world with its very mystique. There is no place on earth which enjoys such a diversity of environments and a profusion of creative energies as India, a subcontinent with a 5000-year-old history. A civilization united by its diversity, India has always been known as a land where history echoes itself with all its wonders in every piece of stone and every particle of dust.
