Visit to the Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren

On August 28, Ambassador Hayashi and Ms. Kono, First Secretary, visited the exhibition ‘Timeless Beauty’, held at the Gallo-Roman Museum in Tongeren. They were welcomed by Deputy of Limburg Province Igor Philtjens (in charge of tourism, culture and heritage) and Director of Museum, Bart Distelmans. They enjoyed the innovative and impressive exhibition, while Mr. Shin Bogdan Hagiwara and Ms. Shizuka Hariu, in charge of the exhibition’s design and space, together with the Museum’s curator Patrick De Rynck, provided explanation.

The exhibition brings together the works of Belgian photographer Marc Lagrange with excavated objects from the ancient Roman era, and poses the visitor the question whether the ideal of female beauty is something universal.
