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. 🎫 Get your tickets at the link in our bio! 🔎 Map showing three Shan states.
