Many thanks to Andrew Renton for his very interesting, enjoyable & informative talk about historic & contemporary Japanese art and design.
He also explained how Wales has played a part in the long-standing interaction between Europe and Japan. We saw slides of images including an impressive range of objects, from ceramics and prints to textiles and furniture & contemporary design.
Andrew is the head of design collections Amgueddfa Cymru – National Museum Wales , Cardiff. He provides Intellectual leadership for visual and applied arts, ensuring that Amgueddfa Cymru is recognised as a world-class centre in terms of its collections, research, public profile and public impact.
