Boats Floating Afar: The Maritime Trade of Ancient Chinese Ceramics

2026-10-25 – 2027-01-31

For over a thousand years, Chinese ceramics moved along the Maritime Silk Road through the Gulf, and this exhibition traces that trade route through the objects themselves — porcelain and glazed stoneware that turned up in shipwrecks and ports across the region long before anyone called it globalization. A long-running, free exhibition at the National Museum of Qatar.
