Enchanted Worlds: Hokusai, Hiroshige and the Art of Edo Japan
Virtually walk through this major exhibition on Japan's Edo period at Auckland Art Gallery.
Overview
Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki is currently closed to the public under Alert Level 3, but art lovers across the world can now explore the space via a new digital exhibition platform.
The virtual platform transforms the Gallery's exhibitions into a digital experience with an immersive soundtrack. Available on desktop computer, tablet or smartphone, the platform allows users to choose between three different tour experiences, from a family tour with fun facts and art-making activities, to a curator's highlight tour that covers insights and stories, and an in-depth experience with extended artwork labels.
The platform launched with the Gallery's major exhibition Enchanted Worlds: Hokusai, Hiroshige and the Art of Edo Japan, which showcases original paintings by artists and schools of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868). Using navigation tools to virtually 'walk' through spaces, users can explore Enchanted Worlds via high-resolution digital images offering close-up views of the intricate, hand-painted details of over 70 exquisite and rare artworks, including delicate silk paintings, precious scrolls and vibrant folding screens.
