Kizuna: Japan | Wales | Design

This project will develop the tourist offer in Wales through the promotion and launch of the major summer exhibition, Kizuna, at National Museum Cardiff, which will be free to enter and will run from 16 June to 9 September 2018.

This contemporary exhibition will showcase the best of Japanese design over the last 400 years, highlighting the strong bonds between Japan and Wales, two countries on opposite sides of the globe that have historical ties originating from the shipping companies of the past. The project is endorsed and supported by Japanese Government, the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs and the UK Japanese Embassy. Funding will increase our marketing of the exhibition with a targeted programme of activity aimed at developing interest from both the UK and internationally.

The marketing we undertake will be focussed on developing a wider audience to visit National Museum Cardiff. The project will engage a new international audience enticing and inspiring new visitors by the quality of the cultural and heritage offer available in Wales.
