Tantra exhibition at the British Museum 'is about more than sex'

The British Museum has announced an exhibition on Tantra - saying it will be about more than sex and yoga.

Tantra, as a set of beliefs and rituals, first emerged in India around AD 500.

Imma Ramos, curator of Tantra: Enlightenment To Revolution, said: "This major exhibition will capture the rebellious spirit of Tantra, with its potential to disrupt prevailing social, cultural and political establishments.

"Tantra is usually equated with sex in the West, but it should be understood as part of a broader philosophy of transgression.

"We will demonstrate Tantra's enduring potential for opening up new ways of seeing and changing the world."
