About

A Tea Journey will explore the cultural significance of our nation’s favourite drink.

Visitors will follow the tea leaf from plant to pot, beginning with its roots in Chinese culture through to its adoption and appropriation into British society. The exhibition will raise questions about what the humble cup of tea has evolved
to represent in international, social, philosophical and visual cultures.

A Tea Journey will combine rare, historic teaware from China, Japan and India with responses by contemporary artists including Robin Best, Adam Buick, Phoebe Cummings, Charlotte Hodes, Takahiro Kondo, Ian McIntyre, Bruce Nuske, Selina Nwulu, Bouke de Vries, Hetain Patel, Paul Scott, Julian Stair and Edmund de Waal.

Visitors will also explore The Tea Sensorium which will offer a multi-sensory appreciation of tea, from the leaf itself and art inspired by tea, as well as becoming a sight for artist-led workshops and discussions.
