Japanese Design Today 100
ANU School of Art Gallery
The design of household items acts as a mirror that reflects our life style. This exhibition introduces 92 designs for household items that were produced during the 1990s, and 13 others, in which we see the roots of contemporary design, from the postwar Japan of the 1950s.
EXPANSION   Margo Lewers

The Australian National University ANU School of Art welcomes the opportunity to present an exhibition tribute to prominent Australian abstract artist Margo Lewers (1908- 1978).
