Out of town (cont)<br />
Floating Worlds – an exhibition of Japanese woodcuts from the Edo period<br />
(1615-1868) – continues at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery. The style<br />
of prints on display is known as Ukiyo-e, which means ‘pictures of the<br />
floating world’, capturing the sights of 19th century Edo (modern day Tokyo).<br />
The exhibition offers a calm space to relax and a series of events including<br />
yoga, Tai Chi, meditation and haiku poetry have been programmed<br />
to promote mindfulness and wellbeing. Across the gardens at the Royal<br />
Pavilion, upwards of 120 splendid objects are now on display in their original settings. On<br />
loan from the Royal Collection Trust, visitors will be able to see porcelain pagodas and extraordinary<br />
clocks originally acquired by the Prince Regent for his exotic Brighton palace and<br />
moved to London by Queen Victoria in 1847.<br />

documentaries, dramas, film surgeries and a new ‘After<br />
Dark’ slot where ‘the most unexplained, unexpected and<br />
experimental films’ will be screened. A glittering awards<br />
