Journey with us along Myanmar’s Nam Mao River 🚣♂️
From around 1200, the Shan people (a Burmese ethnic group) began to expand their territory, eventually covering areas of modern-day Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and China 🗺
This polychromatic map depicts the convergence of three Shan states – the area is marked with green towns and bordered by multicoloured mountains 🎨⛰
During in the late 1880s, British colonial authorities began to impose geographical borders between regions in Myanmar – political frontiers had historically been far more flexible, waxing and waning over time. This map was likely created by British, Chinese, and Shan authorities to divide the area.
🗺 This magnificent map is a whopping 160 cm long! It’s currently on display in our #BurmaToMyanmar exhibition, alongside cultural treasures spanning 1500 years of history.
