The first exhibition was about Japanese art and there were two rooms dedicated to it. One of the rooms displayed a collection of 19th century woodblock prints which had been organised by the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford University, but I preferred the ones in the other room, watercolour paintings and other prints and eclectic displays there that reflected nature that were from the Derby Museum collection.
Here is a glimpse of the exhibition in the room displaying many interesting aspects of Japanese culture.

It was an interesting exhibition with much to see and learn about thanks to the Museum's information - so much more than I can share here. Soon I'll blog about another museum venue which is in a Georgian house.
