Crosscurrents explores the artistic worlds of Mughal India, Safavid Iran, and Ottoman Turkey from the 16th to 19th centuries, and their connections with Southeast Asia. Masterpieces from the Louvre's Islamic art collection, including an exquisite jade cup that once belonged to Louis XIV, are brought into dialogue with works from the Asian Civilisations Museum to trace the movement of people, objects, and ideas across an interconnected world.
