Indian Summer

Show dates: May - October 2009

Location: Various, London

Indian Summer at the British Museum was a season dedicated to Indian culture featuring a unique programme of exhibitions, installations, performances, lectures and film screenings.

It included the exhibition Garden and Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodhpur (28 May - 11 October 2009), which provided a rare opportunity to view paintings of outstanding interest and variety that had never previously been seen in Europe, and India Landscape: Kew at the British Museum (until 27 September 2009), a specially commissioned space presenting a slice of India in the Museum's forecourt in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

There was also a rich and varied public programme that appealed to visitors of all ages featuring public debates, screenings of award-winning films and lectures and talks by prominent Indian academics and artists, as well as a wide range of family and educational activities.

Reflecting our firm commitment to Cultural Exchange, we developed an extensive supporting programme to celebrate HSBC's expertise doing business in and with India, and also our knowledge and understanding of its vibrant culture, values and lifestyle.
