The West Vancouver Museum is pleased to present internationally acclaimed artist Manabu Ikeda's latest work, Meltdown.  The impulse for the development of Ikeda's new work comes from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster following the deadly earthquake and tsunami. After five months of painstaking production, Ikeda's work will be on display for the first time at the West Vancouver Museum before it is shipped to Japan.





Do not miss this rare opportunity to see Ikeda's meticulously detailed drawing. The artist will be in attendance in the gallery on January 19th from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. 20 copies of Manabu Ikeda's catalogues shipped from Japan will be available for purchase ($60).
