2011: Special Exhibitions Gallery C
When?
May 20, 2011 to October 10, 2011
More Information:
Japan is world-famous for its electronics, robotics, vehicles, animation, fashion and furniture. This exhibition explores the unexpected links between tradition and modern innovation in Japan. Visitors will see objects ranging from a Samurai armour to painted screens from the historic Edo Period (1603–1867), alongside contemporary, cutting-edge robots, manga (comic books) and anime (animation). Throughout the exhibition visitors will see that many of the innovative Japanese products that are part of everyday life in North America build on ideas and objects that are rooted in Japanese traditions.
