The oasis of Dunhuang, at the edge of the Gobi Desert, was once a bustling city and important pilgrimage site on the famous Silk Road connecting China and the Mediterranean. Our exhibition, A Silk Road Oasis: Life in Ancient Dunhuang provides a rare glimpse into the ordinary lives of people through one of the world's most significant archaeological finds – the Library Cave, where a wealth of manuscripts, documents and artworks remained sealed for nearly 900 years until their discovery in 1900 by a Daoist priest named Wang Yuanlu.
