The World Art collection includes objects from Africa, Asia, the Pacific and
Americas, ranging in age from several thousand years to the contemporary. Strengths
include puppets, masks and world textiles, including an especially important collection
of textiles from Burma.
The development of the collection is supported by the James Henry Green Charitable
Trust, which established the James Green Centre for World Art at Brighton Museum
& Art Gallery in 1995. The Green Centre seeks to promote understanding of
world art through community outreach and education projects, exhibitions, publications,
research activities and fieldwork projects in Asia, such as a recent textile commissioning
project in Kachin State, Burma.
