British Museum hosts the world's largest manga exhibition outside Japan

AsiaOne checks out the world's biggest manga exhibition outside Japan, which opened at the British Museum on May 23rd. The inclusive exhibit featured a well-curated range of original works (including ceramic manga), as well as historical artifacts like the Shintomi theatre curtain (circa 1880), considered to be a definitive type of kyōga or "comic picture".

The centrepiece of the show was definitely the inflatable "Colossal Titan" head (Attack on Titan), as well as a nice selection of Hirohiko Araki material. There are lots of readable books on shelves (as well as e-books via QR codes), so prepare to sit and spend your afternoon immersed in manga. 

If you're in London, swing by and take a look: the exhibit runs until 26th August, 2019.
