At the British Museum
During He Yulei’s time on the International Training Programme she was based in the Asia Department and spent her UK partner placement at National Museums Northern Ireland.H

As an ongoing project throughout the six-week programme, fellows were asked to use their existing skills and experience, and the knowledge gained throughout the annual programme, to create, develop, and propose a new interpretation for an object currently on display in the British Museum. Working in her departmental group, He Yulei used their object, a Bencharong bowl, to explore the history of the object through cross cultural exchange.

He Yulei’s participation on the International Training Programme was generously supported by the Sino-British Fellowship Trust.
