Mark your calendars to take a fresh look at some of Canada's most innovative and lasting contributions to modern design and craft.

Find Out More Aftershocks: Japanese Earthquake Prints Online Experience When disaster strikes, humour heals.  In ROM's latest online exhibition, Aftershocks: Japanese Earthquake Prints, we take a closer look at how satirical prints helped the inhabitants of Edo (present day Tokyo) cope in the aftermath of the 1855 Ansei Great Earthquake. Widely distributed prints – namazu-e (catfish) prints – used bold artistry, folklore, and satire to help make sense of the disaster and promote healing. Over 45 colourful woodblock prints from ROM's exceptional collections are presented in a unique online exhibition that invites viewers to explore, making their own connections with today's social media and the resilience of the human and creative spirit.  This online exhibition is co-presented by ROM and The Japan Foundation, Toronto.
