 e. \n\nFrom influential superpower to repressive regime\, Myanmar – also
  known as Burma – has seen dramatic fluctuations in fortune over the pas
 t 1\,500 years.\n\nExperiencing decades of civil war and now ruled again b
 y a military dictatorship\, Myanmar is an isolated figure on the world sta
 ge today\, and its story is relatively little known in the West. However\,
  the extraordinary artistic output of its peoples\, over more than a mille
 nnium of cultural and political change\, attests to its pivotal role at th
 e crossroads of Asia. \n\nInterconnected yet cut-off\, rich in natural res
 ources such as jade\, rubies and teak but with much of the country living 
 below the poverty line\, Myanmar is a country that defies categorisation. 
 Dr Green will introduce this unprecedented exhibition to attendees and sha
 re background information. This event offers the chance to see the history
  behind the headlines.\n\nClick on link below\, page down\, and register f
