Dragon Ball to be featured in Barbican Art Gallery in London!

Post by Baggie_Saiyan » Fri Mar 24, 2017 12:49 pm

Starting from March 23, Dragon Ball will be featured at the prestigious Barbican Art Gallery in London. It is part of The Japanese House Architecture and Life after 1945, an exhibition held until June 25, and co-organized by the Japan Foundation and the Barbican.
An extract of the original 1986 animated series will showcase the inventive world of Dragon Ball and the famous Capsule houses created by Akira Toriyama, and draw parallels with the actual work of visionary Japanese architects from the 1970's.

Pretty cool! :) Might try and check it out if I'm down in the capital.

Congratulations Mr Toriyama and to all of DB!

Wow! This is pretty neat. Now I wish I was going to London next month instead of November. Side note for Dragon Ball fans in London: Go to Japan Craft in Camden Market. It's a terrific place to buy DB figurines and posters.
