"Meiji: Japan Rediscovered" presents works form the Museum’s collection exploring the connection of Japan and the West. The Meiji period (1868-1912) is perhaps the most dynamic era in Japanese cultural history with the Japanese artists rediscovering their own history in conjunction with “opening” the country to Europe and America. This exhibition explores the rich production of art for export, using little seen objects from the Museum’s collection to illustrate new developments in painting, metalwork, sculpture, textiles and ceramics. Period photographs set the scene.
