Shared Stories Exhibition at Humayun's Tomb Highlights Interconnected Asian Histories

The Shared Stories exhibition at Humayun's Tomb in New Delhi, curated by Italian archaeologist Laura Giuliano, showcases 120 artefacts loaned by Rome's Museo delle Civiltà. Highlighting interconnected histories of India, Pakistan, China, Afghanistan, Iran, and Italy, the exhibition features a 7th-century marble fragment of Mahishasura Mardini from Afghanistan. It emphasizes the movement of ideas and shared cultural motifs across civilizations, challenging linear historical narratives and encouraging a broader understanding of cultural exchanges.
