Featuring more than 150 works in drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpture, installation and ceramics, this comprehensive exhibition offers audiences the opportunity to immerse themselves in Nara’s personal and creative worlds. Celebrated across the globe for his powerful portraits with eyes that gaze back at the viewer, and his drawings that engage with daily experiences, Nara is also known for his wood, fibreglass and ceramic sculptures as well as his installations of little houses. Nara’s work explores themes of resistance, rebellion, isolation, freedom and spirituality. This thematic exhibition reveals enduring influences on the artist’s work, particularly nature and its mythology, the peace movement, the significance of home, and his interest in punk and rock music and popular culture. Born in 1959 in Japan’s Aomori prefecture, Yoshitomo Nara completed the Master of Fine Arts programme at the Aichi University of the Arts in 1987. Nara subsequently moved to Germany in 1988 and began his enrolment at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. After residing in Cologne, he returned to Japan in 2000. He has exhibited in numerous museums and galleries in Europe, the United States, Japan, and Asia since the late 1990s.This is an expanded version of the touring exhibition from the Guggenheim, Bilbao, and Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden, featuring additional work, including early sculptures and new paintings.

I strongly recommend at least one day at the British Museum. We arranged a visit to the British Museum on the last day of our 10-day tour of the UK. We found that the three hours we arranged were too little. Fortunately, we participated in the tour group of Teacher Bilan. Through the wonderful explanation of the teacher, we learned a lot of the history and origin of the cultural relics that were previously vague. Let us have a vivid humanities and history lesson at the British Museum. We saw the long-awaited Ru kiln and Tang Sancai, and witnessed the exquisite memory of Chinese historical relics. Teacher Bilan also uploaded a few photos of the Ru kiln after the team ended, which allowed me to retain a precious memory and beautiful photos despite the regret.

Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey is actually a collection of churches and cemeteries (royal and some celebrities). The building is magnificent and the interior is well maintained. It is worth seeing. The ticket purchased on Trip.com is convenient to use. Just scan the QR code at the entrance of the church to enter. There are too many people. Queues for an hour to enter. The church provides free Chinese voice interpreters.

This time I brushed it twice. This time I took my family to sit together. It felt really good overlooking half of London and the Thames. The only fly in the ointment was that the weather was not good enough, and the scenery was too far from sunny and cloudy.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
