5 June – 16 September 2006
Journey to the West: the Chinese Scottish Chronicles was an extensive exhibition on the Chinese community in Scotland. It was a historical narrative about their immigration, establishment and contribution to the Scottish cities of Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Dundee and others today. The aim was to promote multicultural pride and understanding of the Chinese people in a Scottish society. It also encouraged the audience to explore their own family and cultural history. The exhibition exhibited a wide range of artefacts, photograph/images, visual media and fine art collected from the Chinese Scottish community.
