The Tin Route

11 November 2000 - 11 March 2001

Two thousand five hundred years ago the locations of West Cornwall, North Burgundy and South Italy were linked by trade in tin. Tin was a vital commodity being an essential component of bronze. West Cornwall was the main source in Europe and the Greek communities on the Mediterranean the main users. The tin was transported by sea to the mouth of the Seine, upstream to the celtic city of Vix (near modern Chatillon) then across by land to the Soane and hence down the Rhone to the Mediterranean. This exhibition relected this extraordinary trade, both by theme and by location being shown in Tate St Ives, England; Musee Chatillonais, France and University of Lecce, Italy.
