  • Facebook and YouTube Webcast ONLY (map)

Although less well-known than the famous collections of Yuan dynasty (1272-1368) porcelain in the Topkapi Museum in Istanbul and the National Museum of Iran in Teheran, the similar trove in New Delhi, discovered in 1960 on the grounds of a 14th century palace by the Horticulture Branch of the Archaeological Survey of India, is roughly twice as large as either of the other collections. Follow the stories of Ellen Smart, Aprajita Sharma and Steven Gaskin to learn how they were lured to these pieces and how they shared their discoveries.
