Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts

The intellectual rigour of the programme will be complemented by access to the unique collection of Japanese art at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts located at UEA’s campus. The collection boasts outstanding examples of prehistoric art, Buddhist sculptures, paintings and ceramics. The collection will provide students with a first-hand experience of studying Japan’s material culture through artefacts, and learning about Japan’s past and present through art objects. Students will be encouraged to use this collection for their study, and to gather experience in curating, researching, and communicating about Japanese culture.
