A curator takes you through Dunhuang, Buddhism and the Silk Road at ACM — Fri 27 Nov, 6.30–9pm, S$25.

Two and a half hours on the caves at Dunhuang, on Buddhism, and on the Silk Road the caravans moved along, delivered by the person who knows the material best. The curator leads this one at the Asian Civilisations Museum, starting 6.30pm on Friday 27 Nov and running through to 9pm — a proper evening's sit, not a quick walk-past.

Tickets are S$25, and the museum sits at 1 Empress Place, an easy hop from the CBD if you're coming straight from the office. Come with the friend who actually reads the wall text, or come alone and ask the questions you'd normally Google at home. Either way, you leave with more than a photo of a display case.
