Asian Style

There are around 67,000 Asian or Asian British residents in Wolverhampton. The vast majority of those people are of Indian descent, though there are also a number of Pakistani and Bangladeshi descendants living here too. A large proportion of these groups were born in Britain and have relatives who were born abroad. Others may have emigrated in the past from their home countries.

This section of the site looks at the way that different parts of Asian culture is reflected in art and fashion. Here, you can find out about weddings, mehndi and Sikh swords. You can explore the collections from Wolverhampton Art Gallery and see what they mean to you.
