Revisiting Siebold's Japan Museum

€ 25,00
The German physician and naturalist Philipp Franz von Siebold spent a number of years living in Japan in the 19th century on two occasions, bringing with him knowledge of Western medical science and amassing an extensive collection of materials relating to Japanese nature and culture. Upon returning to Europe, he organised the first full-scale Japanese exhibitions in several cities, spurring the burgeoning interest in non-European ethnic groups and cultures.
