The attendees at Millman Street Community Centre got to see a private exhibition last week!

They were lucky enough to be invited to the British Museum to see their new exhibition: Hiroshige artist of the open road.

Hiroshige (1797–1858) captured his audience on a lyrical journey through Edo Japan, allowing people to explore the natural beauty of the landscape and the pleasure of urban life. He went on to become a prolific and popular artist. As Japan confronted the encroaching outside world, Hiroshige’s calm artistic vision connected with – and reassured – people at every level of society.
