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.

Buckingham Palace

Historic buildings

The Buckingham Palace changing ceremony is an iconic royal cultural event in London, and it is necessary to occupy a vantage point in advance. At the point, the guards wore red uniforms and bearskin hats, and entered the audience in the military band &quot;God Save the King&quot;. The new and old guards carried out the post transition, which was very shocking. A large number of tourists gathered outside the iron gates and scrambled to witness the changing of the guards of the Royal Guard.

Night view

The London Eye is one of the famous landmarks of London. Visitors can take the London Eye to the air and have a bird&#39;s eye view of London. The London Eye turns into a huge blue aura at night, adding to the dreamy temperament of the Thames. When the Thames reflects the blue aura, the London Eye is not only a viewing wheel. It is a revolving London Spirit Monument.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious inside, but you are not allowed to take photos, you can only take photos outside. When I entered, I took a photo but was stopped by the staff. Knowing the daily life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
