The 100 year journey of the hand-crafted Tushanwan Pagodas

Handcrafted by orphans in Shanghai. First showcased at the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. And now reunited in Singapore after over a century...
These 84 model pagodas have had a rather extraordinary journey.
Each model is based on actual pagodas in China, some of which have been modified, extensively restored or do not even exist anymore.
