Detail: Touring exhibition on loan from the Horniman Museum & Gardens

Marjorie Bell (1890 –1962) was born in Edinburgh and brought up in Australia. In 1903, she left her home on a sheep station at Shelford in Victoria to travel around Japan with her mother Hester and cousin Leslie. They arrived in Japan on 14 June and spent two months travelling around the country.

During the journey both Marjorie and Leslie took photographs, which were processed at Japanese studios, and Marjorie wrote a diary. The entries which Marjorie made in her diary provide the captions for this exhibition.

The original diary will also be displayed alongside the photographs. This touring exhibition on loan from the Horniman Museum & Gardens will be complemented by a selection of works from our own collection.
