With Olivier Bernier, author.

In the course of its long history, India has produced many masterpieces. The gods and goddesses, the heroes of the Ramayana and the Mahabarata, and, not least, elephants, have been the subjects of sculptors of genius, as has the Buddha. Then, in the sixth century, as Hinduism and its culture spread to Cambodia, the Khmer artists went on to add their own brilliant style to the legacy of India. As we tour the Indian and Khmer galleries, we will see not only fascinating works of art but also the life of one of the world's great civilizations.

Luncheon with the author follows the tour.
