'Circles of Stone: Stonehenge and Prehistoric Japan' - exhibition to open in September 2022!
Categorised under: Art & Exhibitions, Grants
In the March 2019 funding round, the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation awarded a Daiwa Foundation Award of £7,000 to English Heritage / Jōmon Archeological Sites World Heritage Inscription Committee to support a visit to Japan (featured in our 2019/20 Annual Review: http://armanios.co.uk/dev/daiwa2/…/Daiwa-Annual-Review-2019-20-Web.pdf).
In October 2019, curators and officials from English Heritage, Wiltshire Museum and Wiltshire Council visited Umataka Jōmon Museum and Jōmon sites to facilitate loans for a future exhibition at the Stonehenge and Avebury World Heritage Site.
The trip also facilitated the international loan of objects for display at the exhibition about Stonehenge and Jōmon Japan.
The exhibition – ‘Circles of Stone: Stonehenge and Prehistoric Japan’ – will now open in September 2022!
‘Circles of Stone: Stonehenge and Prehistoric Japan’ runs from 30 September 2022 until 31 August 2023. Admission will be free to Stonehenge ticket holders, English Heritage and National Trust members, local residents and education groups.
