Since you took over as director of the British Museum, what has been your most rewarding moment so far?

There have been many rewarding experiences, working with great colleagues in London and on all continents, with great and small institutions around the globe, working for a global audience, and for a collection of world cultures. But one particularly rewarding moment was the opening of the India and the World exhibition at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya (CSMVS) in November 2017, an exhibition we have worked on together intensely, and which offered a new way to explore the many aspects of India's great past (and present) in a global context, a country of multiple cultures, faiths, experiences, styles, and artistic expressions. It's a country that over millennia has inspired the world, and has been inspired by the world. We were all aware of working on something unprecedented and exciting, something innovative, a new model of exhibition, with half of the works coming from Indian collections, the other half from the British Museum (BM). The show was seen by more than 2,00,000 people in Mumbai and was received with great enthusiasm.
