About

The Silk Road Virtual Museum is an innovative digital platform that allows visitors to explore the rich history and cultural heritage of the ancient Silk Road trade routes from the comfort of their living room. Featuring over 900 artefacts and 600 e-library resources across 29 different exhibits, this virtual museum covers two key periods: 600-900 CE and 1000-1500 CE. Conceived by retired Economic Historian Professor Richard Griffiths, the museum leverages cutting-edge virtual technology to allow users to explore the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations that spanned from China to the Middle East and beyond.
