An Age of Luxury
An Age of Luxury, from Assyria to Alexander was an international exhibition from the British Museum that toured Hong Kong and Spain between 2018 and 2020. The exhibition looked at the Mediterranean and Middle East between 900 and 300 BCE and explored the stories of luxury objects alongside those of the people who created, owned and traded them.
The Globalising Luxuries project team conducted research about key objects in the exhibition, discovering new and exciting details about their past.
