Art of Manga
Jump to
Manga — Japanese comics and graphic novels — have become a global phenomenon. Featuring original drawings by major artists rarely displayed, this exhibition traces manga’s evolution from the 70s to today. The exhibition explores manga as a powerful medium for visual storytelling, highlighting themes across genres, from friendship to sexuality to the human condition. Looking closely at each artist’s narrative worlds and creative processes, the exhibition also spotlights manga’s cultural impact on the world today and possibilities for the future.
