The South Asia Collection is a unique collection of around 5000 objects and artworks from all over South Asia. We have an ever changing number of exhibitions (woodwork, textiles, metalwork, furniture, architectural pieces and an art gallery). The collection is housed in an architectural gem - a historic roller skating rink in the centre of Norwich, just off the market place. The Collection is looked after by the SADACC Trust, which was established in 2010 to record, conserve, and promote the arts and crafts of South Asia.
